英语口语教学“掩盖行踪”

上礼拜我友人的公司出了一起风波。一名会计被发现挪用公款。他连续多少个月没被发明，因为他做得很暗藏。我们能够用一个习惯用语来形容他的这种做法，那就是cover one's tracks.英语口语教学习语解析：

To cover one's tracks意思就是掩饰行踪/计划。上面的例子中，The accountant was able to cover his tracks for a long time before his scheme was finally discovered.（这位会计长期瞒哄证据，直到他的阴谋被发现。）下面咱们再来看一个例子，看看一名罪犯越狱之后是如何掩饰本人行踪的：

例句1：The prisoner escaped weeks ago. The police had a hard time finding her because she covered her tracks. She was careful not to use her real name and she kept traveling from one state to another. When her photo appeared on TV, a viewer reported seeing her. And she was finally captured.

这名犯人多少星期前越狱，警方费了好大力气搜捕她，然而她很好地掩盖了自己的行踪。她不利用真名，而且不停在州与州之间转移。直到她的照片被公布在电视上，有人举报说曾经见过她，才终于把她抓了回来。

Cover one's tracks也不一定都是干坏事，这个短语也可能用来表示“掩盖盘算、隐藏证据等”。

下面的这个英语口语教学例子里，兄妹俩人为了给他们的妈妈制造一个惊喜派对，始终试图掩盖他们的计划。让我们来看看他们都做了些什么:

英语口语教学例句2：Mom and Dad have no idea that we're organizing a party to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. So far we've been pretty good at covering our tracks. If we let them think that we and the other guests have other plans that weekend, they won't find out what's really happening. Then it'll be a big surprise!

妈妈跟爸爸完全不晓得我们为他们50周年结婚纪念日准备了一场派对。到目前为止，我们的粉饰工作做得还不错。如果我们能让他们以为大家在那个周末都有别的安排，他们就完整不会知道咱们真正的谋划。那就真是个大惊喜了！
