選擇A
Give them an inch, and they will take a mile.
得寸進(jìn)尺.
其結(jié)構(gòu)是： 祈使句,+and +將來(lái)時(shí)的句子.
相當(dāng)于if you give them an inch, they will take a mile.
因?yàn)榇司渲杏衋nd,and是連接詞,and 兩邊睜配的結(jié)構(gòu)應(yīng)該相似（即：兄早喊詞and詞；句子and句子.而且羨野兩邊詞的結(jié)構(gòu)和句子的結(jié)構(gòu)一般說(shuō)來(lái)也要求一至）
這種我們?cè)谟⒄Z(yǔ)上稱作“平行結(jié)構(gòu)”
這句話還是比較常用的。英語(yǔ)里通常我們說(shuō)的“得寸進(jìn)尺”是一句諺語(yǔ)：Give him an inch and
he'll take a
mile/閉野ell。但是這樣的表達(dá)在日常生活中用的并不是很多。那么應(yīng)該怎么用呢？先梁態(tài)胡來(lái)想想通常在什么情況下會(huì)用到這句話吧。讓我們假設(shè)一個(gè)場(chǎng)景:有一天你的鄰居來(lái)問(wèn)你借洗衣粉，你二話沒(méi)說(shuō)就借給他了，之后他又接二連三的問(wèn)你借了一堆東西。你雖然不太愿意但還是借給他了，可是沒(méi)想到他卻橡攔又跑來(lái)，這一次是問(wèn)你借錢，這時(shí)你終于忍不住了，和他說(shuō)："Don't
push your luck”.也就是說(shuō), If you do someone a small favor or delegate a
little permission or a little power, he or she may take advantage of
you. 為什么用luck呢，其實(shí)要是你接二連三的去占別人便宜或者投機(jī)取巧，而又沒(méi)有被拒絕或被批評(píng)，這本身就是很lucky了，要是你偏要push
your
luck（我們都知道push是會(huì)有反作用的，忍無(wú)可忍了也就無(wú)須再忍了），那么很可能你這次就要遭拒絕或挨罵了。人有時(shí)候不懂得察言觀色，吃了一點(diǎn)甜頭還不知節(jié)制，最后當(dāng)然是要吃苦頭的。下一次當(dāng)你的同學(xué)接二連三逃課卻沒(méi)被老師發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)，你就可以和他說(shuō)：“You
shouldn't be pushing your luck like this.”
或者當(dāng)你的同事經(jīng)常抱怨老板吝嗇時(shí)，你也可以說(shuō)："Don't push your luck! If boss hears what you are
saying, you'll lose your job."
