迷你對話：

你的臉怎麼啦？
B: My brother did it.

A: Why?

B: I laughed up my sleeves at him. He’s seen his girlfriend off at the airport and had lipstick on his face and did not know it.
我偷偷地笑他來着。他到機場送女朋友，臉上留有口紅印，他還不知道。
地道表達：
laugh up one’s sleeve
解詞釋義：
這是一個習語，也可以說爲laugh in one’s sleeves，字面意思是“用袖子擋着臉笑”，也就是“偷偷笑”“竊笑”的意思。
