BEC核心句型:

Don’t give me the runaround again.

别再拿话搪塞我了。

give someone the runaround 是一句比较流行的美式习惯用语,单看runaround是由run和around组合而来,可联想为“领着别人到处跑”,进而引申为“回避,搪塞”,所以这个短语的意思是:“敷衍塞责,搪塞某人”。因此,当美国人说"Don’t give me the runaround again."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"Don’t stall me off with such unreasonable excuses."、"Don’t just pay lip-service to me."。

情景对白:

Client: Just tell me when your company will pay off the project money. Don’t give me the runaround again.

客户:直接告诉我你们公司什么时候付清工程尾款吧。别再拿话搪塞我了。

Lisa: Sorry, our boss is not here now.

利萨:抱歉,我们老板现在不在。
