【句子】We'll be taking Porter and Preston off your hands all weekend. 【Desperate Housewives S2E7】

【发音技巧】and Preston失去爆破；hands all连读；

【翻译】整个周末我们会带波特和普雷斯顿度过，让你们歇歇。

今天我们来学习一下这个短语：off someone's hands；

在这个短语中，hands其实指的是：control, or responsibility；

“对于某件事情的控制或者责任”；

所以off one's hands 指的就是：no longer your responsibility“脱手；不再是某个人的责任、不再由某个人负责/照顾”；

eg: They're trying to get old stock off their hands by cutting prices.

他们想通过减价，来把旧库存脱手。

eg: We get Danny off our hands one evening a week when my mother looks after him.

我们每周能休息一个傍晚，让我妈妈带丹尼。

eg: We finally got that project off our hands.

我们终于脱手了那个项目/甩掉了那个项目。

eg: You'll be glad to get the children off your hands for a couple of weeks.

eg: She's trying to find a way to get some of that extra work off her hands.
