“被懷疑”很難受

誰要是被懷疑做壞事，那肯定是不會高興的。被懷疑做壞事的人肯定會“有麻煩”、竝且“失寵”了，這種狀態可以用under a cloud 來表示。下麪是一個人在講另外一個被逮捕的人，這人被指控和販毒有關：

　　The judge had to let him go because there wasn't enough evidence against him. But he's going around under a cloud because most people think he's guilty.

　　法官由於沒有足夠的証據來定罪，所以衹好放了他。但是，他到哪兒都受懷疑，因爲大多數人都認爲他是有罪的。

　　下麪這個例子是一個人在飯館裡對別人說的話：

　　See that man sitting at the table by himself? He's supposed to be a very smart lawyer, but he's been under a cloud ever since he was mixed up in a scandal involving a company that was run by a mobster.

　　看見那個桌子邊獨自坐著的人嗎？他本來是一個很能乾的律師，但是他跟一個公司的醜聞有牽連，而那個公司是由流氓集團經營的。從那時起他一直被人懷疑。
