32）drag one's feet 行动缓慢；磨磨蹭蹭不情愿
model:
——how’s bob coming along on his dissertation proposal? （bob的论文计划进展地怎么样了？）
——he’s really been dragging his feet. (他很磨蹭的。)
形容做事拖拖拉拉的习惯用语就是：to drag one's feet。
例如：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。
又如：billy and sally always drag their feet when i tell them it's bedtime. they love to watch tv after dinner and they'd stay up till midnight if i didn't chase them off to bed.
每当我叫比利和萨利上床睡觉的时候，他们总是拖拖拉拉。他们喜欢吃完晚饭后看电视，要是我不催着他们上床的话，他们可以一直看到半夜。
