核心句型：
    The manager pushed my buttons many times.
    經(jīng)理惹火我好多次了。
    push one's button 直譯過來就是：“按下某人的按鈕”，button也是“下巴”的俗稱，是非正式用法。按住或攻擊某人的下巴，自然會讓對方不滿和生氣，所以這個短語的正確意思是：“惹火某人，激怒某人”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"The manager pushed my buttons many times."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"The manager has made me angry many times."、"The manager has waved a red flag in front of me many times."。
