夏洛克在思考时,别人连呼吸都是错的,更何况还有他讨厌的人(完全不想看到的那种)正看着他~看夏洛克如何霸气发飙:
I'm trying to think. Anderson, face the other way. You're putting me off.
我在设法思考!安德森转过脸去,你碍到我了。
put sb off (sth):to take someone's attention away from what they want to be doing or should be doing;(从...)分散(某人)的注意力,让(某人)打消(...)的念头
【例句】
Could you be quiet please-I'm trying to concentrate and you're putting me off.
你能安静下吗?-我很努力的想要集中精神,而你每次都碍着我了。
怎么样?下次如果有人打扰到你,你也可以这样怼回去哈。
当然,如果不会使用这个短语,就把我们常用的distract用上,也是OK的。
distract:转移(注意力); 分散(思想); 使分心;
【例句】
It was another attempt to distract attention from the truth.
这又是企图分散人们对事实真相的注意力。
如果能顺带的把这个也捎上,那英语写作,妈妈再也不用担心了:
take sb's mind off sth:to stop you from worrying or thinking about a problem or pain, often by forcing you to think about other things;使(某人)暂时忘记(忧虑之事), 转移(某人)对(问题、疼痛等)的注意
