輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇 第54期:為朋友兩肋插刀 在所不惜

我理應(yīng)為你兩肋插刀的。
put my ass on the line直譯過來就是：“將我的屁股放在繩子上”，這個(gè)短語的正確意思是：“兩肋插刀，不惜一切”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說"I should put my ass on the line for you."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Ishould help you as possible as I can."、"I should try my best to support you."。

本杰明：我們是朋友，對(duì)吧?我理應(yīng)為你兩肋插刀的，我相信有朝一日你也會(huì)為我這么做的。

?、贗'm grateful for your help.
對(duì)于你的幫助，我感激不盡。
?、跦ow can I repay your kindness?
我該如何報(bào)答你的恩情呢?
?、躀n order to help me, you nearly entrapped yourself to danger.
