輕松日記商務職場篇第133期:受到責備

核心句型：
He got a bum rap for taking sides with his subordinate.

他因為偏袒下屬而受到責備。

get a bum rap直譯過來就是：“被粗劣地敲了一下”，這個短語的正確意思是：“受到責罵、責備，受到不公平的判決”。因此，當美國人說"He got a bum rap for taking sides with his subordinate."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"He was blamed for being partial to his subordinate."、"He was criticized for taking part with his subordinate."。
