【适用场合】
这里先看一下第一句话:
这里动词gain在这里其实可以理解成achieve;达到;达成;
gain sth. by doing sth.
通过做某事得到某物;
to achieve some benefit by doing something.
eg: What did he gain by dropping out of school?
他辍学得到什么好处了?
point fingers字面意思是:用手指;
在这里是什么意思呢?
英语口语中有一个表达,叫做:point the finger at sb.
指责某个人;责备某个人;认为某个人有罪;
to blame someone; to identify someone as the guilty person
eg: She'll say that she doesn't blame anyone, but I know that, in her heart, she points the finger at me.
她会说她不怪任何人,但是我知道,在她内心深处,她觉得那是我的责任。
eg: Now, I'm not pointing the finger at anyone in particular, but someone here has been stealing food from the communal refrigerator.
现在,我也不是说要责怪某个人,但是,在座的人当中有人一直在从公共冰箱里面偷食物。
eg: Don't point the finger at me! I didn't take the money.
别把锅甩给我,我没拿那笔钱!
eg: When they asked her who broke the window, she pointed the finger at Tom.
当他们问她是谁把窗户打破了,她指了指Tom/她觉得是Tom的责任。
其实也可以说
put the finger on sb.
或者lay the finger on sb.
也可以表达今天这样的意思,指责某个人;
eg: He'd better not lay the finger on me. I didn't do it.
他可别把锅甩给我,我可没做这事儿。
当然了put the finger on sb. 还有其他的意思,你们可以去做做功课。
今天节目中另外一个表达叫做:
be subjected to
其实本来可以说subject sb./sth. to sth. 但是这个短语日常生活中确实更经常用passive voice 被动语态
需要注意的是,这个短语是written language,书面语,所以作文里大家可以大胆用。
意思是:to make sb./sth. experience, suffer or be affected by sth., usually sth. unpleasant
让某个人/某物经历某些不太好/不太开心的事儿。
eg: to be subjected to abuse / ridicule / harassment / criticism
被辱骂;被嘲笑;被骚扰;被批评;
eg: I am sorry I have to subject you to all this questioning.
我很抱歉我得让你经历这些问题的轰炸/审讯。
eg: The city was subjected to heavy bombing.
这座城市曾经被狂轰乱炸。
