【适用场合】

今天节目中主要讲两个短语。

1. submit oneself to sth.

submit 这个单词大家可能知道，它可以表达“提交”这样的意思，但是它也可以表达“屈服、服从、使屈服”这样的含义。



“让自己经历、体验某一个不怎么愉快的事情；使自己遭受一些不太好的影响”；

to allow someone or something to undergo the effects of something

或者to allow oneself to be subjected to sth.



eg: He submitted himself to a search by the guards.

他自愿接受了守卫的搜查。



eg: You may voluntarily submit yourself to the jurisdiction of this country's courts.

你可以自愿服从这个国家的司法管辖。



除此以外今天视频中，我们再讲一个表达。

I'll waive all that.

我放弃那样的权利。

waive是一个蛮正式的用词，

可以指：to not demand something you have a right to, or not cause a rule to be obeyed

“你放弃了你本来有的权利”或者“免除”，“使得一个规矩不被遵守”；



eg: The bank manager waived the charge (= said we didn't have to pay), as we were old and valued customers.

银行经理免除了我们的费用，因为我们是优质老客户。



eg: If the government waives (= removes) the time limit, many more applications will come in.

如果政府免除提交的时间限制，将会有更多的申请被提交。



eg: We have decided to waive the tuition fees in your case.

我们决定免除你的学费。
