(单词翻译:单击)

   Don't sell that man short 不要小瞧他

  sell that man short这个短语的意思很像中国俗语“把人瞧扁了”,也就是没看到某人的长处。所以sell someone short意思就是“小看某人。”
  例句:
  Don't sell that man short. He's one of the smartest lawyers in town. You'd be wise to hire1 him if you're in trouble - he seldom loses a case.
  这段话说:可别小看了这个人。他是城里最能干的律师之一。你要有麻烦找他才对.
