“they don't call your friend "Wreck-It" for nothing.”
你那位朋友叫「破壞王」,可不是白叫的。
用一句輕描淡寫的俗語,把朋友的破壞力說成公認事實。表面在解釋名字,其實是在抱怨和佩服之間搖擺。
They don't call him ... for nothing.
用某人外號來解釋他的性格或行為時用,帶一點無奈。
They don't call him the boss for nothing. / That nickname didn't come from nowhere.
口語
don't call 連讀,Wreck-It 重讀,for nothing 放慢收尾。
They don't call her the Queen of Deadlines for nothing. 大家叫她「截止日期女王」可不是白叫的。
