Day5 give a wide berth to 和某人/某事保持距离;划清界限~
berth 是船的泊位,停泊处。Wide berth 是指船只之间的安全距离。
一般来说,船和船之间会保留一点距离,以免船只之间相互碰撞。
所以这个词组的意思就是说和某人/某物保持安全距离,或者和某人划清界限~
举个例子:
Filming with your smartphone, the resulting images are often more than a little shaky, and if you are speaking to the camera, you quickly run out of things to say. Given live streaming’s potential for such pratfalls, you’d imagine that large businesses would give it a wide berth.
翻译:通过你的智能手机录制节目,之后做出的图像通常会有点晃动,如果你正对着镜头说话,你会很快发现没什么可说的了。鉴于在线直播很容易让人糗态百出,可以想见大公司自然对它是敬而远之了。
