run around in circles,?直譯過來就是跑圈，轉(zhuǎn)著圈跑，在英文習(xí)語里是什么意思呢？?就是?to waste one's time and energy engaging in trival, aimless, or futile activities, to fail to make any meaningful progress.?也就是說，只是在繞著要做的事情兜圈子，全是瑣碎無用的雜事而沒有抓住關(guān)鍵，進(jìn)入到核心的日程中，沒有取得任何進(jìn)展。白費(fèi)功夫。

He has a tendency to run around in circles getting more and more pissed off.

也可以用?run round in circles,?或?run in circles, 同樣的意思。

說贏對手贏得很輕松，玩著似的，不費(fèi)吹灰之力就贏了比賽或任何競爭時，有一個詞，叫?run circles around someone.?英文的解釋是，much better than others at a particular activity and beat them easily. To greatly outclass or outperform someone.?也就是完全不在一個水平上，優(yōu)勢太大，贏得太輕松，兵不血刃。

這個詞19世紀(jì)就出現(xiàn)了，原意就是講跑步時，有些人就算繞著對手跑圈都比對手跑直線跑得快。那得差距多大嘛。

He just has that talent. He can run circles around every one of us.

也可以用?rings around someone,?同樣的意思。
