用put on the spot表达“使尴尬”

如果说某人 puts you on the spot 那就是说他们提出的问题让你感到很为难,很尴尬。

  • I can‘t believe he asked me how old I was in front of the whole office. He really put me on the spot.
  • She put me on the spot and asked me to say something in French.

值得注意的是,另一个短语 have a soft spot for someone 意思是特别喜欢某人。



  • No wonder Jane got a promotion. The boss has always had a soft spot for her.
