以下是英语高频短语“Make a pass at someone”在美剧语料库中的相关例句：
场景一：选自美剧《猫鼠游戏》S06E02 21:41 (对话人物：Peter and Elizabeth)
Peter: I’m sorry we got off on the wrong foot. 抱歉我们一开始闹得不太愉快。
——>> I’m assuming you don’t have any children? 我猜你还没有孩子吧？
Elizabeth: How can you tell? 你怎么看出来的？
Peter: You have a glow of unencumbered [ˌʌnɪn’kʌmbəd] youth for starters. 首先，你容光焕发，有着无牵无挂的年轻光彩。
Encumber：To burden, weigh down, or restrict someone or something—either physically (with a heavy load) or figuratively (with obligations, debt, rules, or complications) that make progress difficult. （表示“拖累、妨碍、使负担沉重”，可以指实际的负荷，也可以指债务、义务、规章等让人行动困难的负担。）
Elizabeth: Unfortunately, Mr. Dietrick, flattery and come-ons 可惜，迪特里希先生，奉承和勾搭
A come-on is a remark, gesture, behavior, or tactic meant to attract someone—usually sexually or romantically, but it can also mean any attempt to lure or entice someone into doing something. It can be flirtatious, manipulative, playful, or strategic depending on context. （用来吸引他人的言语、动作或行为，通常带有暧昧、调情意味，但也可以指任何吸引或诱使他人采取行动的手段。）
——>> are a currency that I don’t accept. 这种“货币”我可不收。
“Currency” normally means money used for exchange. But figuratively, it means a form of value or social capital—something people use to get what they want.By calling flattery and come-ons a currency, the character suggests:
Some people use flattery (excessive praise)
or come-ons (romantic/sexual advances)
as a tool to influence others, just like spending money.In other words, they treat charm, praise, or flirtation as a means of exchange to gain attention, affection, favors, access, or cooperation. What “I don’t accept that currency” means? It means:
“These tactics don’t work on me.”
“You can’t buy me with compliments or flirtation.”
“I don’t respond to that kind of manipulation.”
So she’s rejecting the idea that charm or flirtation can sway her.
Peter: It’s not flattery if it’s the truth… 如果这是实话就不算奉承……

——>> I haven’t made a pass at another woman in 33 years. 我已经33年没对别的女人示好过了。
