A man and woman drinking together
Are they a couple or just friends?

Jo: Hello, I"m Jo, and you"re listening to Real English from BBC Learning English.

Lily: 大家好，我是杨莉。 BBC 的两分种地道英语能为大家带来最时髦的流行词语， Jo, 今天你要介绍的是?

Jo: The expression is – to get the wrong end of the stick. To get the wrong end of the stick.

Lily: 字面上看，这个短语就是错误的一头，那含义是什么呢?

Jo: Well, if you get the wrong end of the stick it means you don"t understand a situation correctly.

Lily: 明白了 to get the wrong end of the stick 就是错误地理解了某事。

Jo: So, for example, maybe you go to a party and you see one of your close friends talking a lot to a man – and you think he"s her boyfriend. Really he"s not and they are just friends so basically you have got the wrong end of the stick.

Lily: 好， Jo 举例说，假设你在一次聚会上看到你的一个女朋友和一名男子交谈，于是你以为她俩是情侣，其时呢，两人就是一般朋友而已，你误解了真相，这句话就是。 You got the wrong end of the stick.

Jo: You didn"t understand the situation in the right way. Listen to another example.

Example

A: So why didn"t you meet us on Saturday then?

B: I"m sorry about that – I got the wrong end of the stick – I thought you were meeting next Saturday.

Jo: So when are you going on holiday then Lily?

Lily: Er... I"m not going on holiday.

Jo: Oh I thought you said you were going to Spain?

Lily: No, no, that"s my son – he"s moving there for a few months for work.

Jo: Oh sorry, I totally got the wrong end of the stick there.

Jo: Bye!
