内容简介  BBC 英语教学的办公室里新增了一个“沏茶排班表”。菲菲发现自己的“沏茶班”比其他同事的多，所以想说说理。但 Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil 劝她应该 “let sleeping dogs lie 让睡着的狗躺着”，这是什么意思？

And I'm Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil. So come on , you've been grumpy all morning – what's upset you?

咱们这个新的 tea-making rota 排的好像不怎么公平。Rob will be making less tea than me.

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Are you sure?

Yes. Look – – Monday morning, Tuesday afternoon, Thursday morning and every other Friday. Rob – just Wednesday morning. 你觉得这公平吗？I'm really going to complain about this at the next team meeting. He always has it easy.

Is it that important ? If I were you, I'd let sleeping dogs lie. You could make things worse.

Let sleeping dogs lie“不要惊动睡着的狗”？你的意思是过去的事情就不要提了、别惹麻烦？

Exactly! We had this argument before and the result was this new tea-making rota. So just like avoiding waking up a dog and making it angry – let the sleeping dogs lie.

好吧，我先在讲讲这个表达。Let sleeping dogs lie“让睡着的狗就这么躺着，别弄醒他们”实际所表述的意思是“过去的事情就让它们过去吧，别再自找麻烦”。咱们来听几个例句。
