have a beef with someone

这个口语表达可不是“和某人一起吃牛肉”的意思哦。beef表示“牛肉”的时候是不可数名词，在这里作可数名词用，是“抱怨、牢骚、不满”的意思。have a beef with someone 这个口语表达的意思就是：“与某人吵架，与某人起争执，与某人发生矛盾”。

i?blew it. i had a beef with my boss today.

我搞砸了，我今天和老板吵了一架。

she is so?full of herself. and she likes?getting high hat?before others. i had a beef with her yesterday.

她太自以为是，还爱在别人面前摆架子，我和她昨天起了争执。

下面我们再来看几个和这个口语表达有关的例句：

she has a beef with a guy smoking next to her.

她和他旁边抽烟的家伙吵了一架。

i really want to?help you out, though you have a

beef with me.

我真的是想帮你摆脱困境，虽然我们之间有过节。

their children.

因为带孩子的事情，他和妻子闹了矛盾。

have a beef with 后面也可以跟something, 表示“对某事有抱怨”。

they have a beef with the way the hotel handled their reservation.

他们对宾馆房间预订有抱怨。

beef表示“抱怨”的意思的时候，不仅可以作名词，还可以作不及物动词。刚才的例句也可以使用beef about.

they beef about the way the hotel handled their reservation.

women can always find something to beef about.

女人们总会找点什么由头发发牢骚。
