twist somebody around your little finger 任意摆布某人

分类: 英语学习方法 

通常情况下,我们的小指 little finger 是手指中最脆弱的一根,如果你能“让某人围着你的小指团团转 twist somebody around your little finger”,则说明你能轻易地摆布、指使或说服这个人,而此人听任你使唤的原因往往出于对你的喜欢或依赖。在这里,动词“twist 转动”还可以替换成“wind 缠绕”或“wrap 包围”,意思相同。

例句

If you go back to him, he'll twist you around his little finger like before.

如果你回到他身边,他会像以前那样任意摆布你的。

We all know Colin will get the new action figure before anyone else. He can twist his parents around his little finger.

我们都知道科林会比其他孩子先拿到最新款玩具,这是因为他的爸妈对他百依百顺。

Don't worry - he'll do as I say. I've got him twisted around my little finger.

别担心,他会照我说的做的。我可以轻易地指使他做任何事情。
