我們管那些事后才發(fā)表看法的行為叫“馬后炮”??蛇€有那么一些人,干活時(shí)不見他們,等到享受到時(shí)間了,他們就立馬出現(xiàn),還表現(xiàn)出一副熱心想幫忙但沒機(jī)會(huì)的樣子。這樣的人在英語里可以叫l(wèi)ast minute helper。
Last minute helper is that person who shows up AFTER everything else is done and offers to do something AFTER everything is already finished.
Last minute helper指所有事情都完成以后才出現(xiàn),或者別人把所有事情都做完后才提出幫忙的人,我們稱為“事后幫手”。
For example:
Joe showed up when we got all the dishes ready. He offered to set the table, but Mary already did it. He is definitely a last minute helper, you cannot count on him.
喬來的時(shí)候,我們已經(jīng)做好菜了。他要求擺置餐桌,可是瑪麗早就擺好了。他絕對(duì)是個(gè)事后幫手,一點(diǎn)都指靠不上。
