看绝望的主妇学高频短语:give sb the benefit of the doubt
Give sb the benefit of the doubt: To believe sb good about sth, rather than sth bad, when you have the possibility of doing either; To decide that you will believe someone, even though you are not sure that what the person is saying is true. As in Something didn’t seem quite right, but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.
中文释义:give sb the benefit of the doubt,先做无过推论,先往好处想。如果你对某人产生了怀疑,但是你仍然决定相信对方,这时候你就是在“give sb the benefit of the doubt”. 这个短语最初是个法律概念,跟字面意思一致,它指的是在一个案件出现疑点的时候,疑点利益(benefit of the doubt)归于被告。例句:I’d like to give Mary the benefit of the doubt. (我选择相信玛丽,我想把事情往好处想。)
