take credit for用法

在生活中，总有一些人喜欢“抢军功”。那么在英语中，“争名夺利”怎么表达呢？请看对话：

A: Mary? I'd like to talk to you for a second, please.

B: Okay, Mark, What's up?

A: I'd like to know why you're always taking credit for work we've done together like that line in the new Ice Cream ad?

B: That was my line, Mark. I know we worked on the ad together, but that was definitely my line.

对话里的take credit to oneself for就是“把……归功于自己，自称某事是自己干的”的意思。在这里，指的是“抢功劳、争名夺利”的意思。Take credit for也有“为某事负责”之意，例如：

He took credit for the attack that killed his girlfriend.

大家是否还记得，在"Friends "中，Monica去上班，她的同事和她谈到Paul，那位女士说：I take credit for Paul. 这个是说“Paul还多亏了我呢”，一般自己在给某人帮忙之后炫耀可以这么说。

 

经典小句子：

I cannot take credit for what I did not do.
无功不受禄。
