聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 997 Get?Roped?Into

 
2--Hey, do you have any plans for the weekend?
 
1--Well, I did have plans to go hiking.
 
2--But, my friend asked me to cat-sit, so I guess I'm just staying around town.
 
1--Aren't you allergic to cats? How did you get roped into that?
 
2--I don't know. I just can't say no to this friend!
 
1--To "get roped into" something means to be persuaded to do something.
 
2--Often something you do not really want to do.
 
1--In our example, Anna got talked into watching a friend's cat.
 
2--The use of the word "rope" probably comes from cowboys, who use a lasso to rope young cows while riding a horse.

===================================
譯文：
 
1--這個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是你在參加馬術(shù)競(jìng)演會(huì)。拉攏
2--嗨，你這周末有什么計(jì)劃嗎？
1--我本來(lái)計(jì)劃徒步旅行。
2--但是我朋友讓我去看護(hù)他的貓，我恐怕只能待在這座城市了。
1--你不是對(duì)貓過(guò)敏嗎？你是怎么被拉攏做這個(gè)事情的？
2--我也不清楚。我只是不能拒絕這個(gè)朋友！
1--被拉攏做某事意味著某人被說(shuō)服做某事。
2--通常情況下是做你并不愿意做的事情。
1--今天例子中，安娜被說(shuō)服照看朋友家的小貓。
2--“用繩索套捉”這個(gè)詞可能來(lái)自于馬上競(jìng)技手們，他們?cè)谒麄凃T馬的時(shí)候使用套索來(lái)套捉牛。
