Li
大家好欢迎收听《》我是杨莉…
Rob
And hello, I'm Rob
Li
Sorry, I didn't hear that.
Rob
If I just take this head off… you can hear me. Hello!
Li
That's better but why are you wearing a life-size monkey costume Rob?
Rob
Well my friend said I should wear it to his son's birthday party this morning – his son loves monkeys and it would make his birthday really special if he saw one!
Li
原来 Rob 的一个朋友为儿子举办聚会,他让 Rob 装扮成一只猴子去凑热闹。
Well, that's very kind of you Rob – and how did the party go?
Rob
Well that's the problem. As you can see, I dressed up like a monkey, travelled across London on the bus and there was no party!
Li
Ha ha – no party! 听上去你好像是被朋友当猴子一样给耍啦! 这叫'making a monkey out of you'!
Rob
Making a monkey out of me? Yes, it's a good phrase. You mean he's trying to make me look foolish or to humiliate me.
Li
He's certainly done that! 短语 'to make a monkey out of someone' 意思就是愚弄某人,让某人出洋相,也就是我们常说的被人耍(猴)啦!下面我们听几个例句:
Examples
Mary made a monkey out me by telling to me to ask her best friend out on a date – she said no!
My boyfriend's always making a monkey out of himself by getting drunk at parties.
Sid made a monkey out of Paul by telling him to wear a suit to the party – everyone else was wearing jeans!
Li
这个词的意思很清楚了。不过,愚弄别人或被别愚弄都不是好事儿。我记得,好像还有一个类似的表达, 'making a fool out of someone'. So Rob, you're angry because he's made a fool out of you?
Rob
Yes! This phrase doesn't just apply to people who dress up like monkeys. It can apply to any situation where somewhere has been made to look foolish or ridiculous – like me!
Li
是的,这个表达的使用面儿更宽一些,而不仅仅限于装扮猴子式的捉弄或取笑。
Rob
But Li, this phrase compares someone to a monkey because monkeys look like they are fooling around. And that makes me look really stupid!
Li
Rob 越说越觉得自己像个傻猴子,可猴子一点儿都不傻呀! Ah but Rob, in Chinese culture, a monkey is seen as a clever animal and is often compared with a clever person.
Rob
Oh really? Well, in that case I might wear this monkey costume for a little bit longer. How does it make me look? Clever, smart?
Li
Quite smart and quite handsome too.
Rob
Oh thanks very much!
Li
Bye.
Rob
Bye.
