迷你對話學地道口語第135期:如法炮製

A:I don’t know what activity my son should take part in?

我不知道該讓我的孩子學什麼?

B:Many children are learning drawing, dancing, swimming and so on in their spare time. You can follow suit.

A:But each children has his own interest.

B:Well, you should talk with your son and let him make his own decision.

地道表達:

follow suit

解詞釋義:

follow做動詞,有“按照(某事)去做,聽從,採用”的意思,suit是樣例的意思,所以follow suit就是“照別人的方式去做,學別人的樣”。和我們中文中說的“如法炮製”有近似之處。

支持範例:

go to bed and she follow suit after a few minute

他上牀睡覺,幾分鐘後她也跟著去睡了。

ld this happen, other countries will certainly follow suit.

如果發生這樣情況,別的國家一定會照樣行事。
