【老友记】“擦身而过。”

【句子】Something just brushed up against my right leg. 【Friends-S1E19】
【发音】['sʌmθɪŋ] [dʒʌst] [brʌʃt] [ʌp] [əˈgeɪnst] [maɪ] [raɪt] [leg]
【发音技巧】just brushed up完全失去爆破+连读；against my不完全失去爆破；right leg不完全失去爆破；
【翻译】有东西刚刚碰到我的右腿了！
【适用场合】
brush (up) against someone or something
指的是接触到某人/某物，轻轻擦过

to touch someone or something lightly in passing.

eg: I brushed up against the freshly painted wall as I passed.
我刚刚经过的时候，擦到了那面刚刷好漆的墙。

说到这个，如果走到室外，看到wet paint的牌子，就不要靠近了。
有点类似于国内“油漆未干”这样的提示。

eg: I guess I brushed against William as I walked by.
我才我刚才走过的时候，和William擦身而过。

eg: Did you see the beautiful woman who just brushed against me?
你看没看到刚才那个跟我擦身而过的美丽的女士？


其实如果只用brush sth. up 没有against
一般在口语中还有另外的意思：
to quickly improve a skill, especially when you have not used it for a time:
之前很久不用的技能，赶紧拿出来练练；重温；复习；

eg: I took a class to brush up my German before the trip.
在出行之前，我报了个班，把自己的德语拣一拣。

我想，我应该在去巴黎之前，温习一下我的法语。
