56 别对我摆架子
核心句型:
Don't try to pull rank on me.别对我摆架子。
pull rank on sb. 源自军队中级别较高的军官利用职权欺压下属,所以这个短语的正确意思是:“仗势欺压,摆架子”。因此,当美国人说"Don't try to pull rank on me."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"Don't put on airs."、"Don't ride the high horses in front of me."。
情景对白:
Peter: My document is very urgent. The president is waiting for it. Let me use the copier first.
彼得:我的文件非常紧急,总裁等着要呢。让我先复印吧。
Benjamin: Don't try to pull rank on me. We're all equal here. My document is urgent, too.
本杰明:别对我摆架子,这里人人平等,我的文件也急着要用呢。
