追《吸血鬼日记》学口语

Liz:You have no idea what youre up against.

你不知道你在对抗什么。

Pastor Young:On the contrary, Liz. Ive already taken your deputies. Weve got the entire towns supply of vervain,including the stash found in the Salvatore house.

正相反，莉兹，我已经接管了你的副手。我们拿到了全镇的马鞭草，包括在塞尔瓦托家里发现的私藏。

up against someone or something: in opposition to someone or something, as in a contest, 和某人抗衡, 比如在比赛中.

比如你在今天的球赛中碰到了最强大的对手就可以说, damn, Im up against the strongest opponent today. 一个相关的用法是be up against it, 表示遭遇大麻烦,比如你这学期7门功课全部挂掉, 室友说, Man, youre really up against it.(=youre screwed)
