As in They didn't have to do anything except sit back and enjoy life.


中文释义:都知道“sit down”是“坐下来”,那sit back是什么意思呢?这个字面意思我们可以理解为“向后靠着坐”,延申意思是“休息一下”;有时在其他语境里面表示“袖手旁观“,表示某种事情发生了,但是你却若无其事地从容淡定,并且不卷入其中。我们还可以用kick back,意思不变。
例句:They didn't do anything. They just wanted to sit back and enjoy life.(他们什么也不想做,只想好好地享受生活。)
