那个新员工做事总是拖拖拉拉的。

好多人在做一些事的时候会表现出拖拖拉拉，很不愿意的样子。美国人把这种现象称为：to drag one's feet。下面的例子是一个百货公司的雇员正在罢工，要求增加工资。这个公司的经理说：The union is dragging its feet on agreeing to a settlement. They think the company is getting desperate to get people back to work because Christmas is coming and that's our busiest time of year.工会拖拖拉拉地不肯就解决方案达成协议。他们认为，公司一定会迫不及待地要雇员回去工作，因为圣诞节快来了，这是我们一年最忙的时候。
