释义 |
heels , tread on sb's ~: toes , tread on sb's ~ -495 这两个短语动词远非同义: tread on sbs heels 作“紧跟”讲,用作本义; tread on sb's toes 则是“得罪”的意思,用作喻义,相当于 hurt the feelings of someone 的解释。 例如: Why should we tread on his heels all the time purposeless-ly? 我们为什么盲目地老要跟着他呢? He trod on her toes by saying some unseasonable words. 他讲了几句不合时宜的话使她生了气。
