Drag One s Feet

"You are such a naughty, naughty boy!" Mrs. Lee complained,"Every morning you drag your feet getting up and you drag your heels eating breakfast! If I didn't know better, I'd think it was because you didn't want to go to school!" Mrs. Lee is concerned for this means to move or act deliberately slow, particularly because one doesn't want to do something.

　　“drag one's feet/heels” 直譯爲“拖著步伐走路”，借喻故意拖延，尤指不願做缺乏興趣的事情。
