【翻译】我不知道，我觉得等着王子过来，让你开心幸福这事儿传达了错误的信息，米奇儿。

今天重点学习的表达是：

sth. sends the wrong message

字面意思：某个事物释放了错误的信号/传达了错误的信息

引申义：原本心里想的是另外的意思，但是表达出来就成了相反的意思了，词不达意。

to do or say something that communicates a meaning different or contrary to what one desires

比如今天视频里，本来这一对gay parents本来想教育女儿应该独立自信，但是Cameron觉得让小姑娘相信白马王子的到来才会拯救公主，让公主幸福这事儿，跟自己原本信奉的教育理念有冲突。

当然也有可能是关于同/异性恋才能带来幸福的这种理念冲突？

eg: I know you're trying to foster better workplace relations between employees, but I think forcing people to sit in assigned spots during lunch break might send the wrong message.

我知道你想改善同事们之间的关系，但是我觉得如果你强迫大家在午餐休息期间只能坐在固定位置，可能大家心里就不会这么觉得了。

eg: This article sends the wrong message to our young people.

这篇文章完全是误导了我们的年轻一代。（三观带偏）

eg: His behavior gives the wrong message to his parents.

他的举止行为，让他的爸爸妈妈产生了误会。

It gives her the wrong message about how you value this relationship.
