why bother

ntent="來(lái)自每日學(xué)英語(yǔ)">

這是一個(gè)我們?cè)谏罱?jīng)常使用得習(xí)語(yǔ)。它得英文解釋是：

used to say that something is not worth the trouble

用來(lái)表示某事不值得麻煩

bother本義表示“麻煩、費(fèi)心”，而“Why bother?” 其實(shí)就是表示“何必去找著個(gè)麻煩呢？”、“何苦自尋煩惱？”。暗指你這么做是會(huì)惹麻煩得，不值當(dāng)去做得，我勸你還是別做了。也可以表達(dá)成

Why fight against troubles or problems?

Why make an effort?

What’s the point?

It’s not necessary.

比方說(shuō)，

I was going to send Joey his birthday present, but why bother? I’ll see him this weekend and I can give it to him then.

我本來(lái)打算把禮物寄給喬伊，不過(guò)何必呢？我這周末去看他，到時(shí)候可以直接給他。

美劇中也非常常見(jiàn)這個(gè)說(shuō)法，比如《永不滿足（Insatiable）》第壹季第4集中就有這樣得對(duì)話：

- Have you told him how you feel?

你跟他說(shuō)過(guò)你得感受么

-Why bother? You're the only one who listens to me.

何必呢？只有你會(huì)聽(tīng)我說(shuō)話。
