第八季，Andrew回来时带回来个女友Mary Beth，妈妈诧异自己儿子的选择，于是借着排队把Andrew之前的男朋友都请了过来，Mary Beth便又和Andrew分手了。之后Andrew和妈妈交心，谈自己多年来的不如意，...... 希望自己之后可以东山再起……
Where do I start? Um. . . Well, I took a loss on the house that you got me, I, uh, I lost my job, Can't find a new one. I have a ton of credit card debt, and Mary Beth was willing to help me out with all of that.
Well, so would I. Why didn't you come to me for help?
Do you know what it feels like to have to keep running back to your mother to fix your problems? My whole life, you've been propping me up. . . when I needed a job, when I was dumped, when I was drinking. I'm just. . . I'm so tired of you seeing me as a failure.
Andrew, if you would go through all of this Andrew rather than come to me for help, then I am the one who's failed.
How about we just agree that we both failed?
So what are you gonna do now?
I don't know. I had a pretty good setup there. . . A place to live, somebody who needed me, All the frozen custard I could eat.
Well, I don't have any custard, but I can offer you a place to stay, and. . . someone else who needs you.
All right. But just until I get back on my feet again.
看完影片，大家应该知道，我们今天要介绍的表达就是“get back on one's feet”了吧~一起来看~
英文释义：
△ 简单理解就是某人 “东山再起”，又挣了很多钱，或者某人的事业“东山再起”，又创辉煌。
I know it is not easy to get back on my feet, but I will take a shot.
我知道东山再起并不是件易事儿，但是我也会试一试。
foot 专题
put XX's feet up｜休息休息
英文释义：
就是这个画面~
在绝望主妇中，Lynette为了外孙（Julie和双胞胎的孩子）的事情来和Susan商量，一进门，Susan便赶紧让Lynette先休息休息——put your feet up。
例句：
I'll be glad of a chance to put my feet up.
能有机会休息一下我就满足了。
wait on XX hand and foot｜无微不至／细心地照顾
He's waiting on her hand and foot.
马修无微不至地照顾她。（马修影片中的角色）
这个表达在口中还常用被动语态，XX be /get waited on hand and foot，意思就是某人被细心地照顾着。
例句：
Marry me, you will get waited on hand and foot.
嫁给我吧，我定会细心照顾你。
get cold feet ｜灰心，临阵逃脱
英文释义：
准备好了，却又临阵脱逃
例句：
Don't get cold feet so early. It's not time to give up.
先别灰心，还不到放弃的时候。
start/get off on the wrong foot｜起步就错，开局不顺
这个表达就按照表面意思来理解的话，就是“第一步就踏错了”，通常用来“开局不顺”，可以理解为“用错误的方式打开”🤔🤔🤔
比如，你和第一次见面就吵架的人成了闺蜜，
We did get off on the wrong foot, but we are best friends now.
我们一开始对彼此的印象的确不好，但是我们现在是好朋友了。
那么，起步就顺利怎么说呢？wrong 和 right 切换😉😉😉
start/get off on the right foot｜起步顺利
例句：
I wanted to get off on the right foot.
我想有个良好的开端。
shoot yourself in the foot｜祸从口出
英文释义：
口不择言，引祸上身
例句：
One day you'll shoot yourself in the foot. Stop saying that way.
总有一天你会因为说错话吃亏的，别再那样说了。
put your foot in it｜说错话
这里的it替换的就是“mouth”，当然也可以直接说成put your foot in your mouth~~意思是“说话不经大脑，让人尴尬😅 ”
之前也有分享过关于这个表达的详细介绍，点击回顾
在口语中，还有把袜子放到嘴里的表达，mouth也是用it替代了，常说put/stick a sock in it，但是并不是“把袜子放到嘴里”的意思，而是多用于表达“闭嘴”一意~
如果你觉得谁太吵吵，就可以说
例句：
Put/Stick a sock in it. 🤣🤣🤣
not put a foot wrong｜步步小心
如同走钢丝一般，一步不可错，可以用来形容做事小心谨慎，不容出现差错。
比如在围棋比赛中，你已经落后了，所以之后的“每一步”你都不能错，也可以用这个表达来表示~可以算是一语双关吧~~😊😊
例句：
Given the situation here, I have to not put a foot wrong.
就现在来看，我必须步步谨慎。
再比如，在公司职场，马上就要晋升，而你又是候选人之一，你做事也务必不能出现差错~~
例句：
I am the eyesore for them. I can't put a foot wrong.
我现在是他们的眼中钉。我一步都不能走错/不能被抓住把柄。
当然，foot也可以用作动词，常用搭配是
foot the bill 支付账单
英文释义：
相当于pay for，而且贵贵的
比如，吃完了饭，看看账单才觉得贵🤣🤣🤣勉勉强强付了吧……
例句：
It is obvious that he doesn't want to foot the bill.
很明显，他不想支付账单。
