看美剧学英语习语:Have a/some say in sth

Have a/some say in sth: be involved in making a decision about something;have the right or power to influence a decision about something. As in The best thing about working for a smaller company is that it finally feels like everyone has a say in how it should operate.


中文释义:"say"作为名词有发言权;决定权的含义,“have a/some say in sth”是指某人在某事上有发言权,或指某人对某事能说上话, 对决策能起到影响。例句:When he's 18, he'll begin to have a/some say in the running of the family business.(当他18岁时,他就开始对家族企业的经营有发言权了。)另外,需要注意的是当我们想要表达在某事上没有或者只有一点发言权时,可以用have no/little say in sth。


今日看点:Have a say in 的同义转换:
1. have a voice in: Citizens want to have a voice in their local government.
2. have one's say: As soon as I've had my say I'll sit down.
3. have the say: The general has the say over which troops will be sent.
