菲菲剛度假歸來(lái)。在和同事 Rob 談及假期時(shí)，菲菲說(shuō)她爬上了珠穆朗瑪峰。Rob 覺(jué)得菲菲沒(méi)那個(gè)體力，肯定是在騙他。說(shuō)到這里 Rob 用了 you are pulling my leg 這個(gè)表達(dá)，什么意思呢？請(qǐng)聽(tīng)節(jié)目。

Feifei
大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。

Rob
… and hello, I'm Rob. So Feifei, how was your holiday – did you go anywhere special?

Feifei
Yes, I did. I went walking.

Rob
Very healthy. So, where did you go?

Feifei
Oh, I walked up Mount Everest…. It was tough and cold but I made it.

Rob
Errr… you walked up Mount Everest – the highest mountain in the world – are you sure?

Feifei
Rob 不相信我登上了珠穆朗瑪峰。You don't think I'm fit enough to do it, do you?

Rob
No no no, it's just… oh come on Feifei, you're pulling my leg.

Feifei
I'm not even touching you.

Rob
No, I don't mean you're actually pulling my leg – I mean you're lying aren't you – you're joking with me?

Feifei
原來(lái) pull someone’s leg 這個(gè)英語(yǔ)表達(dá)的意思是在開(kāi)玩笑時(shí)故意哄騙或逗某人玩。所以，Rob 說(shuō)我在逗他玩兒，因?yàn)樗X(jué)得我根本沒(méi)有爬上珠穆朗瑪峰的能力。不過(guò)我是真的在騙他嗎？

Rob
Come on Feifei, stop teasing me – you didn't do it.

Feifei
I did. I'll show you some photos. But let me hear some more examples of the phrase in action first.

Examples
A: So I got to the restaurant and sat down at my table and guess who was sitting on at the next table – George Clooney!
B: You're pulling my leg!

I was pulling his leg when I said I was going to marry Jenny but he believed me and bought me a present!

Oh stop pulling my leg – you can't have won the lottery, you didn't even buy a ticket!

Feifei
表達(dá) pull someone’s leg 的意思就是愚弄、哄騙某人，但請(qǐng)大家記住這種哄騙都是開(kāi)玩笑的、無(wú)惡意的行為。Look at this photo Rob, you can see how much snow there was on Everest – and look, there's me on top.

Rob
Hold on – this is a trick photo – you had this taken in one of those photo-booths where you stand in front of a big screen. You're not pulling my leg!

Feifei
Ooo… ouch… 我的大腿肌肉好像抻到了。

Rob
It looks like you've pulled something in your own leg – a muscle perhaps! Who's the fool now?

Feifei
OK, I didn't walk up Everest – I was teasing you but you almost believed me!

Rob
Didn't.

Feifei
Did!

Rob
Did not.

Feifei
Did.
