迷你對話學地道口語第256期:可不傻 不易上當
迷你對話：
A: Who broke the glass, Peter?
Peter，是誰打破了杯子。
B: That cat.
是貓。
A: I was not born yesterday. It must be either you or Adam.
你變不了我，不就是你就是亞當。
B: It’s me, mun, I am sorry.
是我，媽媽，對不起。
地道表達：
not born yesterday
解詞釋義：
改習語的字面意思是“不是昨天才生出來的”，常用來比喻“老於世故的”、“不容易上當的”或“一點兒也不傻”。
支持範例：
However young she is, she wans’t born yesterday.
無論她年紀對麼小，你騙不了她。

他向他的同事表示他並不是傻瓜。

他知道如何去處理這種問題，他可不是乳臭未乾的小孩子。

我想提醒你，我並非是個乳臭未乾的孩子。
