【原】短语动词 go against，除了“对某人不利”，还有其他意思

短语动词 go against 常见的意思是“对某人不利；不利于某人”，相当于我们之前学过的短语动词 tell against，例如：

The judge's decision went against us.

法官的判决对我们不利。

This misbehaviour will certainly go against his chances of promotion.

这种不端行为肯定不利于他的晋升机会。

一、go against sb/sth 意为“反抗（或反对）某人（或某事）；与…相背”，主要指违背了思想层面的意愿，例如：

I don't want to go against your will.

我不想违背你的意愿。

I often have to make decisions that go against the grain.

我经常要做违背常理的决定。

解析：against the grain 是一个习语， 它不是“与谷物作对”的意思，它的寓意是“不合理，事与愿违”。

他没有勇气违背民意。

违背了我的原则的改变正在进行，我不能同意。

解析：which 引导的非限制性定语从句，去掉它句子意思仍然完整。

他没有勇气逆流而上。

二、go against 意为“违反；与…不符（或相反）”，一般适用于规章、原则等，例如：

解析：动名词 paying for hospital treatment 作主语。
