A shrug is a small gesture where you raise both shoulders for a moment, usually to show you don't know something, don't care, or aren't sure. It's used as both a noun ('he gave a shrug') and a verb ('she shrugged'). People also say 'shrug something off' to mean not letting a problem bother them.
聳肩;(shrug off) 不放在心上、輕描淡寫帶過
