英语中be fair game for 例句如题.
A rule in colleges that states that if one falls asleep with his shoes on,he is fair game for shaming.If one has the presence of mind to take off thier shoes before going to bed,it is ruled that he has merely fallen asleep,rather than passed out in a drunken stupor.
成为笑柄.
大学里一条规定:如果谁没脱鞋子就睡觉,他就会因此蒙羞并因此成为笑柄.如果有谁在上床之前有心思去脱鞋子,那么他肯定是上床睡着了,而不是醉的不省人事.
再问: 这个词组是书面用语还是口头表达?还可以怎么用?有没有例子?谢谢!
再答: fair game。 你要是想game在这里是指游戏的话,那你就错了。Game在这里指的是打猎的人要打的动物,也就是猎物。

Fair game就是由于正当理由而成为追踪,袭击或耻笑的对象。假如说某一个城市的市长被发现和一件贪污受贿的丑闻有牵连,当地的人可能就会告诉你: The mayor became fair game for the media after he was found to be involved in a bribery scandal, 这是说:在市长被发现和贪污丑闻有牵连后,他就成了媒体集中报道的对象。

一些政界人物在竞选高级职位的时候也往往会成为新闻媒体集中报道的对象。在下面例句里说话的人告诉我们他叔叔遇到的情况。

例句-3:My uncle ran for state governor so he was fair game for the press. The reporters dug back into his past and printed things about him that happened way back in childhood. But they found nothing that looked too bad and he did get elected.

这个人说:我叔叔在竞选州长的时候,新闻媒体就把他作为重点报道的对象。记者们把他过去的经历都挖出来,刊登了有关他小时候一些事情的文章。但是,他们没有找到任何看起来太坏的事。结果,他当选了。

这是参考http://www.unsv.com/voanews/words-and-idioms/lessons/578/ 是习惯用语,应该是比较地道的用法
