The new employee always drags his feet.
那个新员工做事总是拖拖拉拉.
好多人在做一些事的时候会表现出拖拖拉拉,很不愿意的样子.美国人把这种现象称为:to drag one'e feet.下面的例子是一个百货公司的雇员正在罢工,要求增加工资.这个公司的经理说:The union is dragging its feet on agreeing to a settlement.They think the company is getting desperate to get people back to work because Christmas is coming and that's our busiest time of year.工会拖拖拉拉地不肯就解决方案达成协议.他们认为,公司一定会迫不及待地要雇员回去工作,因为圣诞节快来了,这是我们一年最忙的时候.
