He doesn’t know how to act around civilized people.我觉得，George有点太没规矩了，他不知道在有教养的人的圈子里该如何行事。eg: The kids started getting a bit too rough and tumble when their cousin Jake came over.当孩子们的表哥Jake来了以后，孩子们有点玩疯了。eg: That was a rough-and-tumble football game.那是一场混乱不堪的足球赛。下面我们再来讲一下之前节目中学过的一个表达，叫做relate to sb./sth.指的意思是：和某个人/某个事物有联系；和某个人/某个事物感觉亲密、有相似之处；能理解、接受某个人/某个事物；to associate oneself with someone or something; to feel a sense of kinship with or similarity to someone or something.或者to understand, accept, or feel kinship with someone or somethingeg: He relates to people well. 他很擅长人际交往。eg: Your child seems to relate well to her peers.你的孩子好像很擅长结交同伴。eg: I'm worried that my son doesn't seem to relate to any of the kids in his class.我很担心我的儿子好像和他班里其他孩子都玩不到一起去。eg: Having grown up in quite a poor household, I could really relate to the character's struggle to find financial success.由于我从小在一个挺贫困的家**大，看到这个角色很希望能够在经济上获得成功，我真的很能够理解。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】I really don't relate to your thinking at all.
