grass someone vs grass on someone
- 動詞 "grass" 在英式俚語中主要意為「告密、告發」。
- "grass someone" 的結構直接表示「告發某人」，強調行動的對象。
- "grass on someone" 的結構則表示「就某事告發某人」，介系詞 "on" 帶出被告發的對象，並常隱含背叛的意味。
- 在美式英語中較少使用此俚語含義，英式用法中兩者皆常見，但 "grass on someone" 可能更為普遍。 EN: He was afraid his friend would grass him to the police. 翻譯: 他害怕他的朋友會向警察告發他。
EN:She grassed on her colleagues about the stolen supplies.
