3. manipulate,exploit,maneuver
在说说几个也有“摆布、操控”的意思,但在口语中不是特别常用的词manipulate,exploit和maneuver。这三个词的共同中心意思是“to influence, manage, use, or control to one's advantage by artful or indirect means通过巧妙的或间接的方式来影响、处理、利用或控制某人的优势”,比如:
He manipulated public opinion in his favor.
他巧妙地使公众舆论倒向他。
To get what she wants, she even exploits her friends.
为了得到自己想要的,她甚至利用她的朋友。
