He has a finger in every pie.
英文諺語有不少跟食物有關(guān)的句子，今舉一例：He has a finger in every pie. 直譯是‘他染指于所有餡餅之上’，意思是比喻‘他樣樣事情都要插手’，有‘多管閑事’的貶義。要說某人有很多事情要處理，可以說：He has an involvement in everything. (他樣樣事情都有份)或 He has a lot of business concerns. (他有很多業(yè)務(wù)) 。
對 話 Joe: How's Brian's new job coming along?
Simon: Great! He's a real success. He's got a finger in every pie at the company.
Joe: So he's branched out and is working in several divisions? That's impressive for a man with no qualifications.
Simon: I think you've got it wrong. Brian is the official taster at the pie factory. He likes the pumpkin and the pecan but absolutely adores the apple. Fancy a slice ? (Brian enters with finger in a pie)
Joe: Ah… No thanks, I'll pass.
喬：布萊恩的新工作怎么樣？ 西門：很棒！他真成功，公司內(nèi)樣樣事情他都要插手。
喬：那么他是跨部門工作嗎？一個沒有什么條件的人可以如此，真令人驚訝。
西門：我想你誤會了，布萊恩是餡餅廠的試味專員，他愛南瓜及核桃味，但特別喜歡蘋果味。(布萊恩用手指點在餡餅上)，要吃一塊嗎？
喬：喔．．．．．．不用了，謝謝。 布萊思在餡餅廠工作。他的朋友問How's Brian's new job coming along?（布萊恩的新工作做得怎樣？）聽到He's got a finger in every pie的答案，望著送上的餡餅也沒胃口吃了：No thanks, I'll pass。
Pass可以解作‘通過’、‘及格’等，但上文的I'll pass是什么意思呢？按pass可解作‘放棄（權(quán)利、機會或奉上的東西）’，例如：In the quiz his answer to almost every question was “Pass”（在答問比賽之中，他對每個問題的答案幾乎都是‘棄權(quán)’）。這個pass之后不可直接用受詞(object)；要說明放棄的是什么東西，可用on字帶出，例如：(1) “I'm giving a party tonight. Would you like to come?”“No thanks, I'll pass.”（‘我今晚開派對，你來不來？’‘謝謝，我不來了?！?2) I passed on his invitation to dinner（我沒有接受他吃晚飯的邀請）。
Come along是動詞詞組(phrasal verb)，意思是‘進展’，例如：(1) My wounded leg is coming along quite well（我傷了的腿正在康復(fù)中，進展不錯）。(2) Everything is coming along as expected（一切進展都如所料）。 To have/get a finger in every pie直譯是‘染指于所有餡餅之上’，一般指‘多管閑事’。把every改為the，是指‘參與其事’，而這參與往往是不受歡迎的，例如：(1) He liked putting his finger in every pie（他什么事都要插手）。(2) I had no finger in the pie of my daughter's marriage.（我沒有干預(yù)女兒的婚事）。
