高中VOA英语—美国习惯用语讲座（doc版） 第447 talk in circles素材
<p> 标题：美国习惯用语-第447 <span word="talk">talk</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="circles">circles</span>...</p><p> 内容：</p><p> 我们今天来讲几个描绘不同言谈方式的习惯用语。</p><p> 第一个是: <span word="talk">talk</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="circles">circles</span>。</p><p> <span word="Circle">Circle</span>意思是园圈，中文也有“说话绕圈子”的说法，意思是说话不直截了当，迷惑听话的人。</p><p> 我们通过个例子来体会英文<span word="talk">talk</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="circles">circles</span>是不是含义相同。</p><p> 我们知道要是一名辩护律师承办证据不利于当事人的案子，那他作辩护时就可能会采取迂回战术，以混淆法官和陪审团的视听。</p><p> 下面这段话正是这样的例子。</p><p> 例句-1：<span word="He">He</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="caught">caught</span> <span word="standing">standing</span> <span word="over">over</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="victim">victim</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="smoking">smoking</span> <span word="gun">gun</span>. <span word="His">His</span> <span word="lawyer">lawyer</span> <span word="talked">talked</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="circles">circles</span> <span word="trying">trying</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="confuse">confuse</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="jury">jury</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="still">still</span> <span word="remembered">remembered</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="smoking">smoking</span> <span word="gun">gun</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="found">found</span> <span word="him">him</span> <span word="guilty">guilty</span>.他说：他被逮住的时候脚下就躺着被害人，手上还握着冒烟的手枪。</p><p> 他的律师绕着圈子说话，试图把陪审团弄糊涂，但是陪审团还是忘不了那把冒烟的手枪，仍然判定他有罪。</p><p> 他的罪证确凿，所以律师想为他开脱罪责就不能实话直说了，只得转弯抹角地误导听众。</p><p> 这就是<span word="talk">talk</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="circles">circles</span>这个习惯用语的意思。******再学个习惯用语表示又一种说话方式: <span word="double">double</span> <span word="talk">talk</span>。</p><p> <span word="Double">Double</span>有两面、双重的意思，手腕高强的政客在被问及引起争议的问题时，时而会采用<span word="double">double</span> <span word="talk">talk</span>，让听的人摸不着头脑。</p>
