What will Mrs. Grundy say?

人家會(huì)怎么議論呢?

Mrs. Grundy 格蘭迪夫人，源自美國(guó)劇作家托馬斯·摩頓的戲劇《加快犁的速度》中的人物，她是一個(gè)極其古板的人。后來(lái)人們就用Mrs. Grundy來(lái)比喻那些“過分重規(guī)矩的人，拘泥禮節(jié)的人”。What will Mrs. Grundy say? 直譯過來(lái)就是：“格蘭迪夫人會(huì)怎么樣說呢?”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“人家會(huì)怎么議論呢?”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說"What will Mrs. Grundy say?"時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"How will others talk about it?"、"What will other people think about it?"。

情景對(duì)白：
Shirley: Do you really want to tell the boss about your idea on this project directly? Think before you act! If you do that, what will Mrs. Grundy say?

雪莉：你真的想跟老板直說你對(duì)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的看法?三思而后行啊，如果你那樣做，別人又會(huì)怎么說呢?

Jane: I don't care. I have to speak out my own opinion.

簡(jiǎn)：我才不在乎呢。我必須說出自己的看法。

搭配句積累：

①I don't know, nor do I care.

我不知道，也不在乎。

②I just hope my colleagues will not gossip about it all the time.

我只希望同事們不要一直說長(zhǎng)道短。

③The man who you fall in love with is our boss.

你愛上的可是我們老板啊。

④You'd better think twice about it. Are you really sure about it?

你再想想吧，你真的要這么做嗎?
