昨天跟外教 Tony 一起去谈客户，临走前老板叮嘱他别犯倔脾气，该低头的时候就低个头，毕竟人家是上帝......可是 Tony 一点儿听不进去，直接回怼了一句 : "I wouldn't like to keep on the right side of him."

看到这儿有的同学可能就迷糊了，这老外干嘛没事儿说什么站不站在右边儿呢？原来"keep on the right side of sb."是个短语，意思就是"和...搞好关系、获得某人的好感"，所以 Tony 刚才是在说 : "我可不想去巴结他。"

keep on the right side of sb.

与...保持友好, 不使...烦恼；避免得罪（某人）；争取（某人）的好感

【En】If you stay on the right side of someone, you try to please them and avoid annoying them. 如果你站在某人的右边，意思是你尽量取悦他们，避免惹恼他们。to try to make certain that someone is pleased with you. 设法确定某人对你满意。to be careful not to annoy someone, because you want them to help you and not cause problems for you. 小心不要惹恼别人，因为你希望他们帮助你，而不是给你带来麻烦。
