be a law unto themselves 自行其是,我行我素
表达 “be a law unto themselves” 用来形容某人 “自行其是,我行我素”,因此他们是相当不可预测的。除了可以用来描述一个不遵循规章制度的人以外,这个表达也可以用来描述运转异常的机器或其它物体。 例句 I want to arrange a weekend away with Emily, but she's a law unto herself – I never know what she's going to be doing. 我想安排和艾米莉一起度周末,但她是个我行我素的人,我从来都不知道她要干什么。 Travelling with Jack is always great fun – he's a law unto himself, so you never know where you'll end up. 和杰克一起旅行游玩总是很有趣,因为他自行其是,所以你永远不知道会到哪里去。 This computer is a law unto itself!
