| 释义 | read 'em and weepLook at these results, which clearly show that I am the winner and you are the loser. A clichéd expression that is especially commonly used during card games. Ha! Read 'em and weep—a royal flush! I win! A: "There's no way that you got cast in the lead role—my audition was way better than yours!" B: "Read 'em and weep, there's my name right at the top of the list!" read 'em and weepYou won't be happy with this news. You're playing poker, and at the end of a hand you hold a full house, aces high. Only you and another player are left in the round. You lay down your hand, and just as you're about to reach for the substantial amount of money in the pot, the other player lays down his cards and says smugly, “Read 'em and weep.” It's a straight flush. Although the phrase is most commonly heard in card games, it has been used in other situations, such as when a garage mechanic with a distorted sense of humor hands you a staggeringly large bill for his services. |
