恒星口语讲堂:"推托敷衍"英语怎么说?

Give me a runaround 推托敷衍

Larry正在申请下学期学校的资助，可是到处碰壁。

LL: I am so frustrated! The Financial Aid Office is giving me a real runaround!

LH: Larry，你说资助办公室给你什么？ Runaround是什么呀？

LL: To give someone a runaround means to be deceptive and evasive to someone. They sent me from office to office，but no one can give me the right answers.

LH: 噢， to give someone a runaround意思是对某人很虚假，躲躲闪闪的。你是说资助办公室打发你到这个办公室那个办公室，可就没有人给你一个明确的回答。Larry，那现在怎么办呢？

LL: They are still giving me the runaround. They say I didn't turn in my application on time, but I know I did.

LH: 他们说你没有交申请表？瞎说，你肯定交了，我还跟你一起去的。你知道， Larry，每次我申请延长学生签证，他们也是把我象皮球那样踢来踢去，gave me a runaround。

LL: That's too bad. Since being given the runaround is no fun, what do you say we go for ice cream somewhere?

LH: 去吃冰淇淋？我不知道能不能去。我今天下午很忙， 要批改很多作文。

LL: How about after you grade your papers?

LH: 批改卷子后，我还要写论文。

LL: Li Hua, are you giving me the runaround?

LH: Larry，看你说的，我怎么是在找借口呢？我看你有点多疑吧。

LL: Well, you aren't giving me a direct answer for one.

LH: 没有明确回答你。 好吧， Larry， 我的回答是不能去，对不起我不能跟你去吃冰淇淋。这行了吧？

LL：That's OK! Just don't give me the runaround anymore. I've had enough of that!
