中文释义:“Do someone justice”是一种拍马屁不留痕迹的恭维方式。在美剧中一般适用于因为某人的能力被低估,或者某人的特长未被展现时,用以强调自己因为对方的优势没有得到正确评估或公正对待而不满,这话会让听者觉得十分受用,认为说话方是欣赏自己,或者站在自己一边的。
E.G.1: I’m not sure Mark has done Freud justice, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt since he is kind of my role model and I adore him very much. (Owen)
