I was going to mention the argument we had last night but decided to let sleeping dogs lie.

Let's not go over last night's performance: let sleeping dogs lie and move on.

Don't remind her about the divorce. Let sleeping dogs lie and talk about something else.

这里是 BBC 英语教学的《》节目，本集节目中一起学习的地道说法是 let sleeping dogs lie，它的意思是“过去的事情就不要再提了，让它过去吧，以避免惹来麻烦”。That's all very well but it still seems unfair that I'm the one who has to make tea the most.

Come on . Can't you remember why we had a new tea-making rota? It was because Rob makes such awful tea, that we wanted him to make less of it!

Oh yes. Rob 给我们做的英式奶茶味道特别不好，所以这个新的“沏茶排班表”的目的是想减少 Rob 做茶的频率。You’re right, Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil. It’s not worth making a fuss. We definitely don’t want Rob to be making our tea too often.

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Yes. Let sleeping dogs lie.

But hold on. I didn't see your name on the rota. Shouldn't you be making tea? I thought you were keeping quiet. You never make tea. I'm going to say something about this.

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Ssshhh. Don't wake up the sleeping dogs. I'll go and make some tea now, OK? Bye.
