I can't figure her out 是“我解决不了她”?
很多男生在交了女朋友之后常常会表示困惑,他们觉得女孩子真的是谜一样的生物,他们分不清女生各种各样的口红色号,也常常不懂自己的女朋友为什么突然生气了。
所以,他们可能会和自己的朋友这样抱怨:“昨天聊得好好的,今天就不理人了,I can’t figure her out”。我们都知道figure out 有解决、算出的意思,那这个男生是想要表达什么呢?要解决掉自己的女朋友吗?
当然不是,没有那么恐怖。那这句话是什么意思呢,下面我们一起学习 figure someone out 的用法。
Figure someone out:
try to understand someone, generally it’s their perspective on something. Reach an understanding of a person's actions, motives, or personality.
意思是尝试着理解某人,通常是试图理解他们对某事的看法,或者行为动机。
