“牵着鼻子走”怎么用英语表达，你知道吗？
<p>我朋友<span word="Jenny">Jenny</span>的老板实在很糟糕。近两个月来，他一直让<span word="Jenny">Jenny</span>觉得自己有机会被提升为部门主管，所以就没完没了地加班，自我表现。其实我觉得，她老板根本就是在欺骗她，牵着她的鼻子走。在英语里，有一个习惯用语，专门形容这种情况，叫<span word="string">string</span> <span word="someone">someone</span> <span word="along">along</span>.</p><p><span word="To">To</span> <span word="string">string</span> <span word="someone">someone</span> <span word="along">along</span>. <span word="String">String</span>是绳子的意思。<span word="To">To</span> <span word="string">string</span> <span word="someone">someone</span> <span word="along">along</span>是指为了让别人替自己做事，而愚弄、蒙蔽他，或是吊他的胃口。刚才我们说到的<span word="Jenny">Jenny</span>的老板，就是用提升作为诱饵，让<span word="Jenny">Jenny</span>加班加点地替他工作。</p><p>在生活中，我们经常能遇到这种情况。在下面这个例子里，一名男子对他女友的真实想法摸不着头脑。让我们听听他是怎么说的。</p><p>"<span word="It">It</span> <span word="seems">seems</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="she">she</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="happy">happy</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="whenever">whenever</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="bring">bring</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="future">future</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="always">always</span> <span word="changes">changes</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="subject">subject</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="just">just</span> <span word="bought">bought</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="diamond">diamond</span> <span word="necklace">necklace</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="told">told</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="loved">loved</span> <span word="me">me</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="then">then</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="she">she</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="busy">busy</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="weekend">weekend</span>. <span word="Do">Do</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="think">think</span> <span word="she">she</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="just">just</span> "<span word="STRINGING">STRINGING</span> <span word="ME">ME</span> <span word="ALONG">ALONG</span>?"</p><p>他说，[看上去她跟我在一起还是挺高兴的。但是每次我一提到我们今后的打算，她就会转移话题。我刚买了一条钻石项链送给她，她说她爱我，但又说这个周末没时间。你觉得她是在吊我的胃口吗?]</p><p>依我看，这个女孩不是真心的。我就听说过好几个这样的女孩，完全是看上了男朋友的钱。有些甚至在取消婚约后，也不把订婚戒指还给男方。</p>
