38、ox office.好萊塢制作公司為了讓大片在中國大賣,往往千辛萬苦討好中國觀眾。11. pass the buck19世紀(jì)80年代,在美國西部打牌的時(shí)候,人們常常用獵刀來分清牌桌上誰是發(fā)牌人。那時(shí)候的獵刀刀柄都是用雄鹿角(buck)做的,所以說pass the buck意思是該下一個(gè)人發(fā)牌了。而現(xiàn)在,這個(gè)詞義有了新的延伸,指的是推卸責(zé)任、踢皮球every time something goes wrong, you try to pass the buck.每次有什么出錯(cuò)的地方, 你總是把責(zé)任推給別人。12. shoot the breeze這個(gè)習(xí)語可不是“殺掉微風(fēng)”的意思而是一群人坐在一起
