很多人都喜欢挂在嘴边的那句:太low了!正是因为我们觉得某件事情太low,我们才不屑于做,right?
当然,“太low”这种中英混杂的Chinglish是我们中国人的发明,native speakers听不懂。但想要表达“某事太low”的这种需求对他们来说显然也是存在的。

那他们通常会怎么说呢?beneath,没错,就是在什么什么之下。比如:Cheating is beneath me. 这里的逻辑其实很简单:如果你是above doing something,那doing something自然是beneath你了。除了doing something,还可以直接说something或者someone。

比如:Obviously, your parents think Adam is beneath you, but he’s your boyfriend, not theirs. So as long as you are happy, that’s all that matters.
