轻松日记商务职场篇 第216期:你错怪我了

核心句型：
You're barking up the wrong tree!
你错怪我了。
bark up the wrong tree 源于美国西部拓荒时期，拓荒者训练狗将猎物叼回来，动物为了逃命往往会爬到树上去。狗有时会一时糊涂，没看清楚猎物上了哪颗树，对着一棵没有动物的树乱叫。这个俚语比喻：“错怪某人，攻击错了目标”。因此，当美国人说"You're barking up the wrong tree!"时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You are accusing me wrongly!"、"You are waking up the wrong passenger!"。
情景对白：
Boss: If you readily admit your mistake, I'll consider giving you a light punishment.
老板：如果你立刻承认错误，我会考虑从轻处罚。
Benjamin: If you think I was the guy who damaged the projector, you're barking up the wrong tree! I didn't enter the meeting room at all.
本杰明：要是你认为是我弄坏了投影仪，那你就错怪我了。我根本就没进过会议室。
