under the table 在暗地裡,在私下
丁老師錄音:
Anything that happens under-the-table is taking place secretly, like under-the-table payments that are illegal. The things on a table are easily seen, but it's not as easy to see what's happening under the table.
在檯面下的意思是指發生的任何事情都是秘密發生的,比如說非法的地下支付。桌子上的東西很容易被看到,但要看到桌子下面發生的事情就不是那麼容易了!
例句:
They offered him money under the table to change his mind.
他們私下賄賂他,令他改變主意。
他們私下賄賂他,令他改變主意。
If you want to get a good apartment, you may have to give the manager some money under the table.
若你想要租到一間好公寓,你可能得偷偷給經理塞些錢。
梗圖:
你能否私底下給我錢呢?
地震的時候要躲在桌下唷!under the table就變成字面上的意思了
