核心句型:
He always gets in Dutch with the boss.
他經(jīng)常得罪老板。
get in Dutch with sb. 這個(gè)俚語來源于十七至十八世紀(jì)的“英荷之戰(zhàn)”,當(dāng)時(shí)英國人對荷蘭人非常憎恨,他們在重創(chuàng)荷蘭人之余,還在語言上得理不饒人,在許多場合都用Dutch一詞表示厭惡、輕蔑之意。這個(gè)俚語的意思就是:“得罪某人”。因此,當(dāng)美國人說"He always gets in Dutch withthe boss."時(shí),他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"He alwayscauses offence to his boss."、"He often displeaseshis boss."。
