020　找错对象
Barking/bark up the wrong tree

Our boss has barked up the wrong tree. Jerry should not been blamed for the loss.

我们老板发火发错对象了，损失不是由杰瑞造成的。

这个俚语的字面意思是“在错的树下叫”。这个词最早用在狩猎中，狩猎者通常都会带着猎犬去打猎，当猎物逃到树上时，猎犬就会跟着气味在树下叫，而如果在没有猎物的树下叫，岂不就是找错对象了？

Kevin：Why are you in such a hurry, Rose?

萝丝，你为什么这么匆忙？

Rose：My computer doesn't operate well. I am looking for Jerry to help me repair it.

我电脑出问题了，我要找杰瑞帮我修一下。

Kevin：Don't bark up the wrong tree. He is not good at computer.

别找错了对象。他可对电脑不在行。

Rose：Then from whom should I ask for help?

那我应该向谁求助？

Kevin：Me. I am a master on computer.

我啊，我可是电脑高手。
