● bear a grudge; carry a grudge; have a grudge; hold a grudge意思差不多,均为怀恨在心,但一般无报复之意。如:The grudge he bears me is quite unwarrantable.(他怨恨我是毫无理由的。)He has a grudge against me.(他对我怀恨在心。)She bears a grudge against me because I took her place on the team.(因为我取代了她在队里的位置,她对我怀恨在心。)He bore his parents no grudge in this hour of distress.(在这种进退两难的时候,他对自己的父母毫无怨言。)She’ll forgive you. She won’t hold a grudge. (她会原谅你,她不会怨恨你。)I don’t carry any grudge against you.(我对你没有任何怨恨。)

In the past he has pulled my hair and given me a forearm smash.(我确信,史密斯先生对我怀恨在心,他曾拉着我的头发,猛打我的前臂。)The manger has had it in for Brown ever since that mistake in the accounts was discovered.(自从账目上那笔差错被发现后,经理对布朗就不信任了。)One of the teachers really has it in for that child—she shouts at him all the time.
