精听英语视频号第115期：看美剧《金装律师》学地道商务表达 ｜哈维徒弟“麦克·罗斯”履历作弊快要曝光，不料“瘟神”驾到！｜学前思考：“有更要紧的事去做”、“拯救某人于危难之中”英语怎么说？

541–I know you know what I did. 我知道你看穿我的小把戏了

542–You baited Louis into working with Ross, 你诱导路易把工作交给罗斯

544–Louis will start asking questions. 路易会猜疑的

545–I said I knew you knew. Now you’re just showing off. 我说我知道被你看穿了 你还要再炫耀一下

Get sb out of the crossshairs：上期我们学过：put sb in one’s crosshairs（将某人推向风口浪尖或置于易受攻击的处境），这个意思正好相反：拯救某人于危难或水火之中。

1、to twist sth around fasten one thing to another in order to tight them together. （把…固定、狞牢、旋紧）

2、(slang)：to cheat sb, especially by making them pay too much money for sth. （忽悠或诈骗他人钱财）

3、(slang)：to have sex with sb. （与人性交）

4、(slang)：an offensive way of showing that you’re annoyed or do not care about sb /sth. （去他妈的；见他的鬼去吧！后面一般接人称或物主代词。）
