《紐約時報》在報導有關調查俄羅斯干預美國總統大選的新聞時,提到參議院情報委員會主席Nunes有可能向白宮提供内綫資料,原文是這樣說的:
The revelation that White House officials assisted in the disclosure of the intelligence reports — which Mr. Nunes then discussed with President Trump — is likely to fuel criticism that the intelligence chairman has been too eager to do the bidding of the Trump administration… 情報委員會主席此擧會被人批評是拍川普政府的馬屁。
do someone’s bidding: (尤指奴颜婢膝地) 服从某人,听命于某人,为某人效劳(submit to someone’s orders; perform services for someone)
例句:
- After he took over the department, he expected everyone around him to do his bidding. 自從他當了部門主管之後,就希望所有的人都拍他的馬屁。
- He calls his client every day and is always willing to do their bidding. 他每天給客戶打電話,而且客戶讓他做什麽他就做什麽。
- She is not a child who will do your bidding without question. 她已經不是孩子了,你不能隨便使喚她。
