看警匪片的时候
经常有个警察要去当卧底
然后他就会说:
I have to make my bones first!
什么意思?做我的骨头?
make my bones
投名状
每次要进到黑帮组织之前
肯定会让警察杀个人作"投名状"
比如
Has he made his bones yet?
他送投名状了吗?
Not yet.
还没。
出名
对于普通人来说
就是出名的意思~
比如
He made his bones as a big city detective before joining our town's police force.
他在加入我们小镇的警队之前,是大城市里有名的侦探。
