　　第一、迷你對(duì)話

　　A: Have you talked to your boyfriend about buying a table?

　　你跟你的男友談了買桌子的事情嗎?

　　B: Yes, but he just brushed it off as if it were onlymy business.

　　談過(guò)了，但他只是輕輕帶過(guò)，好像這事情只是我的事兒一樣。

　　第二、地道表達(dá)

　　brush off

　　1. 解詞釋義

　　Brush off的原意是“刷掉，刷掉, 撣掉, 拂掉”的意思。例如：Dust on the surface brushes off easily. (表面的灰塵容易撣掉。)Please brush this insect off.(請(qǐng)把這只蟲(chóng)撣掉。)在口語(yǔ)中，可以用來(lái)表示“拒絕，漠視，不理睬”等意思。

　　使用這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的時(shí)候，注意brush off之間既可以接something，也可以接somebody。它除了做動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)用外，還可以做名次短語(yǔ)用，但是需要用—連字符將其連接起來(lái)。例如：She gave me the brush -off. (她不理我。)I wanted to keep in touch, but when I called him he gave me the brush-off.(我想和他保持聯(lián)系，但當(dāng)我打電話給他時(shí)，他卻不理睬我。)

　　2. 拓展例句

　　e.g. Nixon was less likely to brush off the bearer of unwelcome intelligence.

　　尼克松不大可能對(duì)他的逆耳之言置之不理。

　　e.g. I didn't expect her to brush us off like this.

　　我沒(méi)有料到她會(huì)這樣拒絕我們。

　　e.g. He is not a good guy. You'd better brush him off.

　　此人并非好人，你最好撇開(kāi)他。

　　第三，咬文嚼字

　　1. as if的意思是“好像，似乎”，是復(fù)合連詞，引導(dǎo)的狀語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)要使用虛擬語(yǔ)氣。例如：

　　The house seemed muted, hushed as if it had been deserted.

　　房子里似乎悄然無(wú)聲，安靜得好像已經(jīng)沒(méi)人在住一樣。

　　She could hear his ragged breathing, as if he had been running.

　　她能聽(tīng)到他不均勻的呼吸聲，似乎他是跑著過(guò)來(lái)的。

　　2. talk to sb. about something的意思是和某人談?wù)撌裁词虑椋⒁庹Z(yǔ)序的放置，人位于事物或事件之前。

　　He intends to talk to young people about the dangers of AIDS.

　　他打算和青年人談?wù)劙滩〉奈：Α?/p>
