核心句型：

If you just explain yourself clearly, no one will flame you.

如果你解釋清楚的話(huà)，沒(méi)有人會(huì)責(zé)怪你的。

flame someone 直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“用火焰燃燒某人”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“責(zé)怪某人”，跟漢語(yǔ)里面的“火冒三丈，大發(fā)雷霆”有相通之處。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"If you just explain yourself clearly, no one will flame you."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"No one will blame you only if you explain it clearly."、"You won't be blamed if you make the thing clear to others."。

情景對(duì)白：

Jane: I didn't peep into our boss's files on his desk. I swear it wasn't me.

簡(jiǎn)：我沒(méi)有偷看老板桌上的文件。我發(fā)誓不是我。

Shirley: In my opinion, if you just explain yourself clearly, no one will flame you.

雪莉：要我說(shuō)啊，如果你解釋清楚的話(huà)，沒(méi)有人會(huì)責(zé)怪你的。

搭配句積累：

①Thank you for your advice. It seems to be my only choice.

謝謝你的建議，這似乎是我惟一的選擇了。

②I am just a little scared but I will have a try.

我有點(diǎn)害怕，但我還是會(huì)試一下。

③The problem is that my boss doesn't have the habit to listen to any explanation.

問(wèn)題是老板根本就不喜歡聽(tīng)任何解釋。

④Easier said than done. You never know how complicated the problem is.

說(shuō)時(shí)容易做時(shí)難，你是不知道問(wèn)題有多復(fù)雜。
