“skirt around”不是指“身邊的裙子”

大家好，今天我們分享一個非常有用且地道的表達——skirt around， 這個短語的含義不是指“身邊的裙子”，其正確的含義是：

skirt around 迴避

“Let‘s not skirt around the fact，” said the attorney to his client。 “You must tell me the truth。”

“我們不要回避事實，”律師對他的委託人說。“你必須把事實真相告訴我。”

He always skirts around the issue whenever I bring up pay raises for the people on my team。

無論何時我提出給我團隊的人漲工資，他總是迴避這個問題。

When asked about his role in the scandal， the CEO skirted around the issue with a longwinded non sequitur about his loyalty to his company and its customers。

當我問到他在醜聞中扮演的角色的時候，CEO用冗長的、不合邏輯的推論說他對公司和客戶的忠誠來回避問題。

Even in rehearsals people would skirt around the issue。

就算在排練的時候人們也會迴避這個問題。
