Programme 16: take it lying down … stand up for

 

MAN: I don’t know what to do. I really feel I’m not appreciated at work. My boss seems to take me for granted.
WOMAN: Well, don’t take it lying down – stand up for yourself! Make sure your colleagues are aware of your concerns.

take it lying down - nechat si to líbit
stand up for - nenechat si to líbit, ozvat se
to take for granted - nevážit si, brát jako samozřejmost
concerns - obavy
