用at liberty表达“自由,随意”

to be at liberty to do something表示一个人可以自由地、随意地、不受约束地做某事。

  • Some companies keep information about salaries confidential and lower rank managers are not at liberty to discuss them.
  • This is a free country! I‘m at liberty to go wherever I like.

值得注意的是,另一个短语to take liberties with something或someone的意思是滥用做事的权力,冒昧行事。



  • Don‘t take liberties with me, Mr Jones! I am a married woman and the only man allowed to kiss me is my husband.
