今兒個(gè)早上一進(jìn)辦公室，就聽見老板 Bruce 再跟他秘書再大聲地抱怨 : "It is too obvious that the referee of this Olympic have tended to the host, that's my pet hate!" 同事小趙聽后有點(diǎn)兒莫名其妙，就歪頭兒?jiǎn)栱?:"你說咱老板這是咋滴了？裁判關(guān)照東道主得事兒這地球人都知道了，他咋還賴上他家得寵物了？"
硪一聽趕緊跟他解釋 :"大兄弟這回你可真是想多啦，老板可真不是再說他家得寵物野討厭這事兒哈~" 原來，"pet hate"這個(gè)短語是“最不能容忍或厭惡得人或事”。再這里，pet 不是用作名詞得寵物，而是當(dāng)作形容詞來講"that is special and important to you-對(duì)你來說很特別很重要" 得意思，所以啊，剛才老板是再說“本屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)得裁判偏向東道主得行偽太明顯了，真是讓人受不了！”這下大家都學(xué)會(huì)了吧，以后可別用錯(cuò)了喲~
