看美剧学雅思08 你会「point the finger at」别人吗？

#一段美剧对话，一个地道表达#本期表达来自《退休警察烦事多》第二季 第一集~...

有这么一个小故事，觉得非常好玩。在这里和大家分享一下。有三只老鼠一同去偷油喝，费尽周折它们找到了一个油瓶，但是瓶口太高够不着。这三只老鼠都想喝，于是商量：一只踩着一只的肩膀，叠罗汉轮流上去喝油。不曾想最上面的第一只老鼠推倒了油瓶，大家都没喝到。回到鼠窝，它们分析失败的原因。

第一只老鼠说：“因为下面第二只老鼠抖动了一下，我才推倒油瓶”；

第二只说：“我感觉到第三只老鼠也抽搐了一下才抖动的”；

第三只说：“对，对，我好像听到猫叫才抖了一下的”；

第一只：“哦，原来如此呀”！然后三只老鼠空着肚子开始互相指责。

A walk drenched in milky moonlight and gentle breeze can always be refreshing both mentally and physically. And disturbance surely will be the last thing we want. Suppose someone passes by with heavy and thick steps and your meditations and tranquility get disrupted. A sudden rage may rush from the belly and we might curse bitterly, “Yo, hold it Flash. What’s with the rush?”事未成，很多人第一反应是推卸责任而不是承担责任，这对团队来说是致命的。

今天我们要看的，就是推卸责任，互相指责的英文表达。本期表达节选自《退休警察烦事多》第二季 第一集

Kendra: Well, what if we get married, you know? That’ll make you a citizen.

Chale: By tomorrow?

Kendra: Yeah.Chale, I love you, okay? We can just run down to the city hall and do it.

Kevin: Whoa, Whoa,Whoa, wait a sec. I realize part of this is my fault?

Kendra: Part?

Keven: Okay, let’s notpoint fingers, all right? But don’t you want to get married the way we always talked about? Right? The church, Father Philip, your mother’s dress?

Kendra: Yeah, of course, but I mean, how are we gonna pull that off by tomorrow night?

Kevin: We have a whole day.
