对话精讲
第一、地道表达
核心短语】army game
解词释义】该习语从字面上解释就是“军队游戏”，“军队游戏”即“战略，战术的攻防转换”，还需要一些计谋，正和汉语中的“兵不厌诈”意思相似，由此该习语引申为“骗局”。
典型范例1】I've lent myself to this government's army game.
我一直替这个政府的骗局卖力。
典型范例2】Their army game was selling fake Chinese medicine to old people.
他们的骗局是卖假中药给老人。
典型范例3】This has been an army game, for we are married here upon the foot of a double fraud.
这套是个恶毒的骗局，我们是在双重欺诈下结婚的。
典型范例4】If you ask me, the whole thing's a army game.
依我说，这事完全是个骗局。
