get roped in 拉拢:
Hey, do you have any plans for the weekend
? 嗨,你这周末有什么计划吗? Well, I did have plans to go hiking. 我本来计划徒步旅行。
But, my friend asked me to cat-sit, so I guess I'm just staying around town. 但是我朋友让我去看护他的猫,我恐怕只能待在这座城市了。
How did you get roped into doing that? 你是怎么被拉拢做这个事情的?
I just can't say no to this friend! 我只是不能拒绝这个朋友!
例子中,有人被说服照看朋友家的小猫。“用绳索套捉”这个词可能来自于马上竞技手们,他们使用套索来套捉牛,在他们骑马的时候。
