核心句型：
Get off the doggie's tail.
得饶人处且饶人，放他一马吧！
Get off the doggie's tail. 直译过来就是：“放过狗尾巴”，显然不能这样望文生义，这个句子的正确意思是：“得饶人处且饶人，放别人一马”。因此，当美国人说"Get off the doggie's tail."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"Let him off."、"Let's forgive him if possible."、"Let's be
lenient1 whenever it is possible."。
情景对白：
Terry: That guy
betrayed2 us. I hate his
guts3. It's not enough to just fire him.
泰瑞：那个家伙背叛了我们。我对他恨之入骨。炒掉他还不够解恨。
Benjamin: Enough, Terry. Get off the doggie's tail.
本杰明：行了，泰瑞。得饶人处且饶人，放他一马吧！
搭配句积累：
我迟早要让他破产。
②I said I would never forgive him and he would pay the price for what he had done.
我之前说过我永远也不会原谅他，他要为自己的所作所为付出代价。
③I'll have his head because he has made such a big mistake.
他犯了这么大的错误，我一定要严惩他。
④All of our work is in vain because of him, and I will never let him off.
都是因为他，我们辛辛苦苦的成果都白费了，我是不会放过他的。
单词：
lenient adj. 宽大的，仁慈的
He believes the government already is lenient with drug traffickers.
他认为政府对毒贩已经很宽容了。
Professor Oswald takes a sightly more lenient view.
奥斯瓦尔德教授的观点稍微温和些。
