【句子】Edie, you just better get the hell off my back! So help me... 【Desperate Housewives S2E7】 【发音】/ˈi:di/ /ju:/ /dʒʌst/ /ˈbet.ə(r)/ /get/ /ðə/ /hel/ /ɒf/ /ɑːf/ /maɪ/ /bæk/ /səʊ/ /help/ /mi:/ 【发音技巧】just better失去爆破+闪音；get the不完全爆破；hell off连读；help me不完全爆破；** 【翻译】伊迪，你最好别跟我啰嗦，否则我发誓我…… 【适用场合】 今天我们来学习一下这个说法，get off one's back， 可以理解成：to stop nagging or pestering one about something，“停止就某件事情斥责、抱怨、纠缠某人”； eg: Just get off my back, will you? 别来烦我了，行吗？/别来纠缠我了，行吗？
eg: Would you please get off my back? I'm not going to the interview, and that's final! 你能不能别纠缠我了？我不会去参加那个面试，就这么定了！
eg: I told you I'd wash the dishes, but I have to finish this first, so** get off my back**! 我跟你说过了，盘子我会洗的，但是我得先把这事儿弄完，所以别来烦我了！
eg: He kept on at me to such an extent that occasionally I wished he would get off my back. 他一直纠缠我，特别烦人，以至于有时我都希望他能别来骚扰我了。
而今天关键句中出现的so help me，你可以理解成：so help me God； 只是有的时候God会被省略，这个表达的意思是“我发誓我说的是真的；我发誓；老天作证……”等等；I vow that I'm telling the truth.
eg: I'll never do it again, so help me God! 我再也不干这事儿了，老天作证！
eg: So help me, I didn't know about the company's tax evasions when I worked there! 老天作证，我在那家公司工作的时候，对那家公司逃税的事情一无所知！
