地道表達(dá)：

let in

解詞釋義：

let sb or sth in表示“允許進(jìn)入，漏水，使陷入”。此語也用于表示是光，水，空氣等進(jìn)入某地。有時(shí)候此語用于表達(dá)“某人陷入困境，遭受損失”。

拓展講解：

由let in搭配的一個(gè)習(xí)語為let sb. in on意思是“讓某人得知秘密”等。

支持范例：

（1）使光，空氣，水進(jìn)入

Better open the window and let in some fresh air.

最好開窗放點(diǎn)新鮮空氣進(jìn)來。

These shoes let in water;please repair them for me.
