当我们遇到麻烦时,有人会伸出援手,但也有人不仅袖手旁观(watch indifferently without lending a hand),还会说风凉话。
说风凉话,中文俗语,意思是站在事件之外说些不负责任的讽刺性的话,常常用于对不站在对方立场上思考和讲话的人的反驳。可以翻译为make irresponsible and carping comments或make sarcastic comments 。
例句:
他专门找空子说风凉话。
He uses every opportunity to make irresponsible and sarcastic comments.
为什么大家总认为我在说风凉话?
Why does everyone always think Im being sarcastic?
