下面我们来看在美剧破产姐妹中figure的几种用法。
1、Let the bomb-squad figure it out.
Max的妈妈寄了一个包裹给她,但她不愿意打开,甚至不愿意拿进房间,所以她跟Caroline说,放在门口让拆弹部队看看里面有什么。
这里的Figure it out 就是想清楚弄明白的意思。

2、Go figure 表示觉得很奇怪或很难解释。
said to show that you think something is strange or difficult to explain.
-he is only eight but he can write better than me.他才八岁,但写作比我还好。
-go figure 是很奇怪哦
再比如下面的例子
