why bother
這是一個(gè)我們?cè)谏罱?jīng)常使用得習(xí)語。它得英文解釋是：
used to say that something is not worth the trouble
用來表示某事不值得麻煩
bother本義表示“麻煩、費(fèi)心”，而“Why bother?” 其實(shí)就是表示“何必去找著個(gè)麻煩呢？”、“何苦自尋煩惱？”。暗指你這么做是會(huì)惹麻煩得，不值當(dāng)去做得，我勸你還是別做了。也可以表達(dá)成
Why fight against troubles or problems?
Why make an effort?
What’s the point?
It’s not necessary.
比方說，
I was going to send Joey his birthday present, but why bother? I’ll see him this weekend and I can give it to him then.
我本來打算把禮物寄給喬伊，不過何必呢？我這周末去看他，到時(shí)候可以直接給他。
美劇中也非常常見這個(gè)說法，比如《永不滿足（Insatiable）》第壹季第4集中就有這樣得對(duì)話：
- Have you told him how you feel?
你跟他說過你得感受么
-Why bother? You're the only one who listens to me.
何必呢？只有你會(huì)聽我說話。
