to work hand in glove
To work hand in glove的意思是密切合作。我們來舉個(gè)例子吧:
例句-3: "The local police are working hand in glove with the FBI to find the bank robbers."
這是說:"當(dāng)?shù)氐木煺诤吐?lián)邦調(diào)查局密切合作設(shè)法找到那些搶劫銀行的罪犯。"
Hand in glove這個(gè)詞匯也經(jīng)常用在反面的場(chǎng)合,形容一些人合謀犯罪等。下面就是一個(gè)例子:
例句-4: "I read in the paper about this customs officer they arrested at the airport. They caught him working hand in glove with a gang of smugglers to bring diamonds into the country without paying duty."
這個(gè)人說:"我在報(bào)紙上看到有關(guān)那個(gè)在機(jī)場(chǎng)被逮捕的海關(guān)官員的消息。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)他和一些走私者密切合作,把鉆石帶進(jìn)來而不繳關(guān)稅。"
上面我們講了兩個(gè)美國人常用的詞匯。第一個(gè)是 the shoe is on the other foot,這是指情況完全不同的意思。另外一個(gè)是 to work hand in glove,這是密切合作的意思。
