" Oh." He let it drop. I looked away awkwardly.

" 哦。" 他放下了这个话题。我尴尬地望到一边去了。

Yeah, I guess so. I'll just let it drop.

我想也是。就让他发泄吧。

" There are mothers like me who aren't keeping quiet, who won't let it drop that our children are in prison, " she says.

“像我这样的母亲不会保持沉默，我们不会让自己的孩子被关在监狱里的事情不了了之。”

His head and throat were bare, and, as he spoke with a helpless look straying all around, he took his coat off, and let it drop on the floor.

他的头和喉咙都光秃秃的， 一边说着，一边带着无助的眼神四处游荡，一边脱下外套， 让它掉在地上。

I asked him why he related to King Lear and Captain Ahab, two of the most willful and driven characters in literature, but he didn't respond to the connection I was making, so I let it drop.

我问他为什么喜欢李尔王和阿哈船长，这两个是文学作品中最固执、最执著的角色，但他没有回答我，我也没有再提。
