- 1n/blʌd/blood on the carpet激烈衝突(導致嚴重後果,如有人丟了工作)
口語A situation where people disagree so strongly that something serious happens, such as someone losing their job.
「blood on the carpet」字面是「地毯上的血」,其實是個誇張的比喻,指「一場非常激烈的爭執或衝突」,結果嚴重到有人付出代價,例如丟掉工作。這裡借「地毯上的血」這個畫面,純粹是形容衝突有多激烈,跟真實流血無關。多用在職場或政治新聞,認得即可。
示範例句 · Example

中文翻譯當兩位經理嚴重意見不合時,那場會議上有「地毯上的血」(激烈衝突)。
