今天我们来讲的一个表达,叫做:do well by sb.
首先,先学一个简略版本的,叫做do by,可以理解成treat;或者deal with
就是“对待”的意思
那我们经常在口语中会加个well。
do well by sb. 意思一样:尊重地对待;
to behave in some manner with respect to someone or something
eg: The children have done well by their aged parents.
孩子们很尊重他们年老的父母亲。
eg: I need to put aside my work stress and remember that my true goal in life is to do well by you and the kids.
我需要抛开我的工作压力,把我的人生目标放在心上:好好对待你和孩子们。
eg: John was determined to do well by his children.

eg: He did well by me when I needed money, and I shall always be grateful to him.
