每日一詞：翻舊賬

現(xiàn)在用來比喻“把過去的矛盾、嫌隙等重提出來(rake up something unpleasant or embarrassing that happened in the past)”，英文可以翻譯為“bring up old scores again, rake up old grievances”。

而翻出“舊賬”的下一步很可能就是“清算舊賬(settle an (old) score)”。

例句：

咱們不要翻舊賬了。

Let’s stop raking up the past.

總統(tǒng)在他的演說中跟對手算了一筆舊賬。

The president used his speech to settle some old scores with his opponents.
