英文:keep a low profile (v.)
說明:keep a low profile 就是叫人行事保持低調,以免招惹麻煩,其中 low profile 意為「低調」,相反詞為 high profile,即「高調」。Keep 可以用 maintain 來替換,但 keep a low profile 比 maintain a low profile 常見許多;然而,maintain a high profile (保持高調) 卻比 keep a high profile 來得常見。
例句:
- Mason’s been keeping a low profile at work ever since his argument with Tony. (自從跟東尼爭吵後,梅森上班時一直保持低調)
- The local people are not always pleasant to strangers, who are warned to keep a low profile while visiting. (本地居民對外地人並非一直很友善,因此外地人被告誡在參訪時要保持低調)
