有一种动物叫做possum,负鼠或 袋貂,它是善于装死的东西。(图1)
人们就用 play possum 来指装死,装睡,装傻,装糊涂……
总之,多用在那种用一动不动的方法,避免别人注意的情况。
比如说,上课时,老师在黑板上板书的时候往往底下一片大乱,而老师一旦回头四下环顾,同学们又都装作正经一动不动了。
这时我们就可以说: The students played possum when the teacher looked around.
再比如有些人看上去在睡觉,其实是装的喔!Tony seems to be asleep, but he's only playing possum.
So,“Don't play possum!”就是少装蒜,少装傻,少装睡,少装死 !!
