本文章由春喜在线英语于2017.09.19日编辑发布
今天我们来学习这个俚语表达:
against the swim
swim在这里是名词，指的是往同一方向运动的鱼群或人群，against the swim这个短语直译是与一群鱼作反向运动，引申为逆流而行，不合群。
来看看这俩个句子：
1.When everyone voted John president of the Student Body, Jane was against the swim and voted for Sam. 当大家都选John当学生会主席时，Jane却偏要逆大流选Sam. 2.None but a mad man would swim against the stream. 只有疯子才会逆流而游.
