大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。
Rob
…and me, Rob. Hello! Hey Feifei, you know that expression 'to wash your dirty linen in public'?
Feifei
Yes. 表達(dá) wash your dirty linen in public 的字面意思是“在公開(kāi)場(chǎng)合洗臟的針織品”實(shí)際要表達(dá)的意思是在公開(kāi)場(chǎng)合毫無(wú)忌諱地談?wù)撍矫艿氖虑椋帽人自?huà)說(shuō)的“家丑外揚(yáng)”。You wouldn't catch me doing that!
Rob
Nor me – I always keep private matters private - but anyway it's exactly what Daisy and Tom have been doing.
Feifei
What? They've been washing their dirty linen in public – you mean they've been arguing?
Rob
Not exactly – but yesterday, they were out in the garden making lots of noise.??
Feifei
Oh I see. Actually Rob I think…
Rob
…and I'm sure Daisy said something about hanging Tom out to dry.
Feifei
行了、行了 Rob，你就別再猜下去了，我知道是怎么回事兒，不過(guò)咱們還是先來(lái)聽(tīng)?zhēng)讉€(gè)使用這個(gè)表達(dá)的例句吧。
Examples
Tim kept discussing his brother's drinking problem at the pub but I told him not to wash his dirty linen in public.
I know he's having an affair but do they have to wash their dirty linen in public?
Don't wash your dirty linen in public, save your argument for when you get home!
Feifei
Wash your dirty linen in public 的意思就是在公開(kāi)場(chǎng)合談?wù)撍饺说拿孛堋２贿^(guò)話(huà)說(shuō)，我覺(jué)得 Daisy 和 Tom 可不會(huì)在院子里談?wù)撟约杭依锏氖聝骸?/p>
Rob
But I could hear what was going on.
Feifei
Are you sure? Because I spoke to Daisy and she said their washing machine had broken down and they were actually washing their clothes outdoors, in the garden. I think the noise was just them having a laugh.
Rob
But what about Daisy saying she was going to hang Tom out to dry?
Feifei
I think she meant she was going to hang Tom's clothes out to dry. 你就別再瞎操心了，and then you won't hear people washing their dirty linen in public – either literally or metaphorically!
Rob
Thanks for the advice Feifei. Bye.
Feifei
Bye.
