push around 驅(qū)使(某人)
A. Gary, do you think you can rewrite this paper. I don'treally like the topic.
A: Gary, 你想你是不是可以把這個報告重寫一遍.我并不是很喜歡那個主題.
B: Hey, I'm only trying to help you out. You shouldn't bepushing me around like this.
B: 嘿! 我是在幫你忙耶! 你不應(yīng)該這樣指使我喔!
"把一個人推來推去"應(yīng)該和"指使"很容易聯(lián)想吧!
想到另外一個詞,push over, 指的是沒有主意/沒有主見/容易被別人說服的一種人. youshouldn't ask her for where to go for dinner. She is a total pushover.
