看绝望的主妇学高频短语: Be in the dark
Be in the dark: in secret, in concealment; Not knowing something that other people do; ignorant, unaware, or not informed about something; If you are in the dark about something, you know nothing about it; This metaphor often appears in the locution keep someone in the dark, meaning “deliberately keep someone uninformed,” as in They kept me in the dark about their plans.
中文释义:Be in the dark 第一层意思是在黑暗中(一般情况的黑暗或一时的黑暗)。 (be) in the dark (about) 用于引申义表示“对……一无所知或被蒙在鼓里”。被蒙在鼓里的话,周围肯定是很黑的,所以用in the dark来表示强调别人都知道,就我不知道。例句:We’re in the dark just as much as you are.(我们跟你们一样被蒙在鼓里。)
