《The Crown》的赏析

当你表达自己为了什么愿意承担什么的时候就可以借用这个套路。如我愿意承担别人对你的指责。

bolt 表示“(马等)脱缰”,所以当你想表达,it is too late的时候就可以说,the horse has already bolted.(木已成舟,覆水难收···)


3)score 的常见义是“分数”,然而,也可以是“事情,真相”。

You don't have to lie to me. I know the score .

另外,需要注意此短语:

You don't have to worry on that score.

那件事你不必担心。
