【原创】今日图语单词: up someone&`&s sleeve。千万不要解释为"在谁的袖子上"。Up someone&`&s sleeve是指某人的秘密。
在报导美国国务卿秘密访问贝鲁特时,报纸说:"...if there were no secret visit up the Administration&`&s sleeve ...." 意思是:要是当局不进行秘密访问,那才是奇怪了。
人们不太喜欢那种什么事都要保密的人。People dislike those who often have something up their sleeve. 但是,一个妻子为丈夫举行生日聚会而事先不告诉他--The wife has something up her sleeve for his birthday party,这丈夫当然会非常高兴。
