(10) Being Grounded 被禁足

1. long face 板著臉
2. count on 依靠，指望
3. back someone up 支持

A: You don’t look very happy. Why the long face?
你看起來很不高興。為什麼板著臉？
B: I was really counting on you to back me up in that argument I was having with Dad.
我和老爸爭執時，我還一直指望你會替我說話。
A: Well, I don’t think it’s that big a deal. It’s not like you’re grounded or anything.
唉呦，沒什麼大不了嘛！你又沒有被禁足。
B: Yeah, but now since we can’t use the car, we can’t go to the movies like we planned.
是啊，但現在既然我們沒有車開，也就不能照原訂計畫去看電影了。
