Hayley教口语，“歪曲(某人)的话”用英语怎么说？

​

to suggest that someone meant one thing when really they meant another

曲解(某人)的话，故意歪曲(某人)的话

实际上这个俗语发生的情况就是某人硬把ta认为的你的话的意思安到你头上，认为你说的话是ta理解的那个意思。有种替某人说出你觉得别人应该说的话的意思，但往往情况都并不属实。

Stop putting words in my mouth - I didn't say you looked fat in the red dress - I merely said you looked very slim in the black!

别曲解我的话——我并不是说你穿红色显胖——我只是说你穿黑色显得非常苗条!

Colleague A: It is Friday afternoon and the boss said we could leave early on Friday.

现在是星期五下午，老板说我们星期五可以早点下班。

Colleague B: Don't put words in her mouth. She said we could leave early on Friday if we had finished all our work. Is all your work finished?

别断章取义。她说如果我们完成了所有的工作，我们星期五就可以早点离开。你的工作都做完了吗?

Colleague A: Not completely.

没完全做完。

Colleague B: Then you had better stay and finish it.

那你最好留下来把它做完。
