hold a brief for 有意維護
【講解】
在這里brief作名詞。與該習語意義相反的習語為hold no brief for,其意思是“不支持，不贊成”。例如：I hold no brief for those who say that violence can be justified.(我不贊成人們說有時使用暴力是合乎情理的.)
【對話】
A:Why did you quarrel with our teacher?
A：為什么你和老師吵架？
B:He held a brief for Tom, it's unfair.
B:他有意維護湯姆，這是不公平的。
A:Don't tell me that. I think you were wrong, too.
A:別這么說，我想你也有錯。
