easydoes it (easydoesit什么意思)

有朋友跟小a留言说:她在电视上听到“Easy does it” 这句话后,用软件翻译出的意思是“轻而易举,容易做到”。

这位朋友就纳闷了,这翻译跟电视上的对话好像有点搭不上。有点搞不懂,究竟“Easy does it” 是不是“轻而易举”的意思?

Easy does it

“Easy does it”可不是说做“一件事情非常容易,轻而易举”。

看看词典的解释:used to tell someone to be more careful and slow,especially in moving.

所以,“Easy does it” 其实是告诉别人,尤其是搬东西的人,小心一点。

Easy does it. Don't bump the door with the edge of the table.

小心点,不要让桌子边撞到门上。

其实,“Easy does it”还可以用来叫人镇定、稍安勿躁。

A: Where is my camera? My passport is gone too!

A:我的相机呢?我的护照也没了!

B:Easy does it, Sue. I think you have someone else's purse.

B: 镇定一下,Sue. 我感觉你拿错钱包了。
