Push sb around: to tell someone what to do in a rude or threatening way; to harass someone physically; to jostle someone;to give someone orders in a forceful or unpleasant way(对（某人）粗暴地发号施令，摆布（某人）…).

中文释义：“push somebody around”字面意思是”把某人推来推去”，有“摆布；烦扰; 欺侮; 粗暴地发号失令，迫使就范”的意思。push around并不光是指肢体行动或者动武，有时办公室的上级不必动手也会把下级push around。他的手段可能是高声喝令，或者为了鸡毛蒜皮的小事动不动就发脾气，有仗势欺人的含义在里面。例句：He got pushed around when he was in high school.（他高中的时候老被欺负。）

今日看点：”Push”还有“得寸进尺”的意思
You’re pushing it.（有点儿过分哦。）
You’d better not push it.（你最好别得寸进尺。）
If you push me, I’ll push back.（你再逼我，我就要造反了！）
