由 foot 組成的俗語(yǔ)在英文里實(shí)在不少，它們的意思有的是正面的，例如：to put one’s best foot forward。這是指盡量給人一個(gè)好的印象。那么，有的人一開始就給人一個(gè)壞印象是怎么說(shuō)的呢？You should say: to get off on the wrong foot。 To get off on the wrong foot，這是指某人一開始就沒(méi)給人一個(gè)好印象，或一開始由于某種行為而把事情弄糟了。
例如：When Joe went to his new job, he got off on the wrong foot--on the first morning he upset his new boss by arriving at the store two hours late. And right now he’s out looking for a job again.
喬找到了一份新的工作，可是他剛開始到那家店里去上班時(shí)就給人一個(gè)壞印象。第一天上班他就晚到兩個(gè)小時(shí)，讓他的老板好不高興?，F(xiàn)在他又在找工作了。
To get off on the wrong foot 這個(gè)俗語(yǔ)實(shí)際上可以適用于任何情況。例如：I finally got a date with that new girl in class but I sure got off on the wrong foot with her: I had car trouble and got to her place almost two hours late.
那天我終于和班上新來(lái)的那個(gè)女同學(xué)約好了出去玩。可是，當(dāng)天我的車出了問(wèn)題，晚了兩個(gè)小時(shí)才去接她，所以我一開頭就把事情弄糟了。
