2010-03-16来源:和谐英语

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!
