地道表达

call the shots

1. 解词释义

Call the shots原来的意思是“明白无误地表现自己的愿望或想法”,但是射箭(shot)为何出现在这个短语中了。让我们结合一个类似短语来找到一些端倪。Call one’s shot这一短语产生的由来是:在射箭之前,射手为了表示剑手的剑术高超,通常会宣布他宣布他射向的目标,但是如果有别人替射手,射手就必需按照别人宣布的目标瞄准射箭。这种射箭项目中帮帮射手决定射击行为的行为就是call one’s shots。后来,call the shots也有了“做决定”“发号司令”的意思。

2. 典型范例

e.g. To be a leader, you should know how to call the shots.

作为领导,你应该知道怎么做决断。

e.g. Don't ask me when we get off work. I do not call the shots around here.

不要问我什么时候我们可以下班.在这里我说话不算数。

e.g. Mike is a first-rate leader who knows how to call the shots.

麦克是一个知道如何指挥的一流领导者。

e.g. What do you always get to call the shots? I want to make some decisions too.

为什么总是你在拿主意?我也想作决定。
