1、brush off 不理;默视
A: Have you talked to Mr. Lambert about Ian’s obscene speech towards you?
A: 你跟 Lambert 先生提过 Ian 对你讲的猥亵的话吗?
B: Yes, but he brushed it off as if it were not a big deal to him.
B: 有! 但他轻轻带过(不理),好象他觉得那并没有什么!
“brush away(aside)” 也是「不理」的意思。如”He brushed aside our objection.”(他无视我们的反对)。
2、boss around 颐指气使

A: Guess what? We first got a flat tire, and now my cell phone is dead.
A: 你猜怎么了? 首先我门的车爆胎了,现在我的行动电话又没电了。

B: 唉!
“flat tire” 是「爆胎」的意思」。
“Oh, boy!”是美国人用的一种感叹表示词句。不必问他们为什么不说 “Oh, girl” 还是别的,因为他们也不知道。
