【句子】He totally puts you on a pedestal. 【ModernFamilyS3E12】

【发音技巧】totally闪音；on a连读；

【翻译】他把你视若女神。

今天我们来学习这个短语，叫做put sb. on a pedestal，

这个短语的字面意思是：“把某个人放在一个底座上”大家想想，只有那种神像、奖杯之类的才有底座pedestal，所以这个短语的引申意味是：

to believe or behave as if someone or something is perfect, wonderful, or better than others, to the extent that one is unable to see its potential flaws or faults.

“把某个人奉为男神/女神，觉得ta就是完美的存在，甚至看不到ta身上潜在的缺陷、缺点；”

下面我们来看几个例句：

eg: I know it's easy to be smitten with a romantic partner, but it isn't healthy to put someone up on a pedestal.

我知道为你的爱人着迷很容易，但把另一方当男神或者女神，这并不正常。

eg: Since childhood, I put my own parents on a pedestal. I felt they could do no wrong.

从小的时候起，我就觉得我爸妈是完美的，我以前一直觉得他们就不可能犯错。

eg: Being put on a pedestal made her uncomfortable.

被别人当作女神，架得高高的，这让她很不舒服。

eg: Her boyfriend placed her on a pedestal.

她男朋友把她当作女神看待。
