Take credit for 搶軍功
在生活中,總有一些人喜歡“搶軍功”.那么在英語(yǔ)中,“爭(zhēng)名奪利”怎么表達(dá)呢?請(qǐng)看對(duì)話：
A:Mary?I'd like to talk to you for a second,please.
B:Okay,Mark,What's up?
A:I'd like to know why you're always taking credit for work we've done together like that line in the new Ice Cream ad?
B:That was my line,Mark.I know we worked on the ad together,but that was definitely my line.
對(duì)話里的take credit to oneself for就是“把……歸功于自己,自稱(chēng)某事是自己干的”的意思.在這里,指的是“搶功勞、爭(zhēng)名奪利”的意思.Take credit for也有“為某事負(fù)責(zé)”之意,例如：
He took credit for the attack that killed his girlfriend.
大家是否還記得,在"Friends "中,Monica去上班,她的同事和她談到Paul,那位女士說(shuō)：I take credit for Paul.這個(gè)是說(shuō)“Paul還多虧了我呢”,一般自己在給某人幫忙之后炫耀可以這么說(shuō).
