英语口语 | 用funny business表达“不道德的、非法的行为，不规矩的事，耍小把戏”

本文和大家分享的口语表达是：funny business。funny是“有趣的，滑稽的”，business是“事情，生意”。两个单词放一起funny business 难道是“有趣的事情”？ 如果你这样想，那可就大错特错了！

这个口语表达的意思是：“不道德的、非法的行为，不规矩的事，耍小把戏”。It means something that is suspicious and probably illegal or dishonest.

• His doing funny business made him lose face completely.
  做的那些不道德的行为让他丢尽了脸面。
• - Do you know he is in hot water?
  - 你知道他遇到麻烦了吗？
  - I have no idea. Tell me about it.
  - 我不知道呢，你和我说说。
  - It is said that he was doing some funny business with local gangsters. So the cops caught him.
  - 据说他当时正在和当地的一些小混混做非法的交易，所以警察就来把他抓走了。

下面我们再来看几个和这个口语表达有关的例句：

• The teacher won't stand for any funny business here.
  老师不允许不道德的行为在此地发生。
• Now, behave yourself! I don't want any of your funny business.
