在日常,大家形容一个人说话弯弯绕绕的时候,会用一个词旁敲侧击。和这种人交际特别累,由于他们有话不直接说,非要遮遮掩掩。
旁敲侧击,汉语成语,也称转弯抹角,字面意思表示沿着弯弯曲曲的路走(follow a road of turns and twists,proceed along a zigzag1 road);比喻说话绕弯,不直截了当,与英语习语beat around the bush意思接近,表示avoid talking about what is important, discuss a matter without coming to the point。
例句:
别旁敲侧击的有话直说!
Dont beat around the bush - get to the point!
我说话从来不转弯抹角。
I always speak my mind plainly.
