接著上期，今天繼續學習Joanna為你精選的美劇英語口語 ~
1. He demands the same in return - an eye for an eye

2. I did not railroad an innocent man.

railroad在這裡不是“鐵路”，而是在美式俚語中作為動詞，指“強迫，迫使（某人倉促行事），強行定罪，捏造罪名”，railroad sb into doing sth

3. I wonder if you could pull a few strings.

pull strings 形象的比喻， 表示“牽線，拉關係，背後操作，走後門”

4. Seems you've stirred up the borsch.

stir 基本意思是“攪拌”，stir up引申為“煽動，挑起，引起(不愉快的情緒或事態)”, stir up sb/stir sb up
If you stir up a particular mood or situation, usually a bad one, you cause it.

beat sb up 基本意思是“暴打，狠揍一頓”，如果是beat oneself up, 自己痛打自己，往往因為做了愧疚的事，意為“自怨自責，憂心忡忡”
