这是一个源于拳击运动的表达。在拳击时 pull your punches 意思是出拳有所保留,手下留情,不伤到对手。现实生活中,人们用这个短语来形容对他人的批评有所保留,不伤到对方的自尊心。这个短语往往以否定形式出现,以表达“不要留情面”。
例句
the report didn't pull any punches in its criticism of the journalists' behaviour.
i don't want you to pull any punches. tell me honestly what you thought of my essay.
请注意
如果什么东西 packs a punch,意思就是力度大、有冲击力,效果强烈。
