释义：

give somebody a hard time 让某人难受，欺负某人

正如字面上的含义，表示“给某人带来艰难的时光”或“让某人难受”。如果宾语变成自己的话 give oneself a hard time 就表示“自责”的意思。

例句：

Please don't give me a hard time.
别让我难受。
Why did you give me such a hard time?
你为什么要那么欺负我？
Don't give yourself too hard time.
不要过于自责。

对话：
A: Your clothes are really ugly today.
你今天的衣服真难看啊。
B: Come on! Don't give me a hard time.
拜托，别欺负我。
