/diːl/ N-COUNT If you make a deal, do a deal, or cut a deal, you complete an agreement or an arrangement with someone, especially in business. 达成一个协议 My dad has not been happy with my grades at school. But yesterday I promised him to work harder. Finally, we cut a deal. It’s a deal! 一言为定! PHRASE big deal; a thing considered important; They don’t make a big deal out of minor irritations; an important person; Sam Kinison became a big deal PHRASE “a raw deal” refers to an act that is not just, that is, an unfair treatment, and the opposite expression is “a fair deal”. 原来指“不公平或骗人的交易”,引申含义就是“卑鄙的行为” What a raw deal!(真卑鄙啊!) PHRASE shady deal shady 这个词有“阴暗的、在阴影下”的意思。所以shady deal直译过来,就是“在暗中进行的交易”。 它引申过来,就是不正大光明的、见不得人的勾当,甚至还有触犯刑律之嫌。They are investigating the man in charge of the road construction. They think he’s cut some shady deals with contractors who paid him bribes under the table to get contracts to repair city roads and bridges.
Deal with it! 接受现实吧,面对现实吧。
