看绝望的主妇学高频短语:Cut sb some slack
Cut sb some slack: to not judge someone as severely as you usually would because they are having problems at the present time；to allow one more latitude or freedom than usual; to be more lenient（仁慈的） with one. As in “Andrew’s late again.” “Cut him some slack – his wife just had a baby.”
中文释义：Cut sb. some slack是使某人松弛下来，别紧绷着，给人更多的余地和体谅的意思。这个表达可以表示对某人表示理解并给他一次机会，也就是放某人一马，给他一个面子的意思，也可以指适当的放宽某种局限，比如交作业的时间或者交接作业的时间等。例句：I know I didn’t finish my work, but I tried my best. Please cut me some slack.（我知道我没有完成工作，但我尽力了，可以通融一下吗？）
