false alarm
A warning about a danger that does not happen; a belief that something bad is going to happen, when it is not. 例如:
The fire service was called out but it was a false alarm.
fair game
If a person or thing is said to be fair game, it is considered acceptable to play jokes on them, criticize them, etc. “可据理加以抨击的对象,可攻击的对象”,例如:
The younger teachers were considered fair game by most of the kids.
Politicians were always considered fair game by cartoonists.
reflect well, badly, etc. on somebody / something
To make somebody/ something appear to be good, bad, etc. to other people. “让某人某物在别人眼里显得…”例如:
This incident reflects badly on everyone involved.
The economic crisis reflects badly on the government's policies.
貌似在第一季的倒数第二集,《老妈》的剧情开始走温情路线了,是为了给第二季留悬念么?最后一集见~
