例句-3: "My friend Pete made a monkey out of me the other day. He told me the party Saturday night was formal, so I wore a suit and tie. But everybody else there was wearing a tee-shirt and blue jeans. It sure made me feel like a fool."

这个人说：“我的朋友皮特那天真把我弄得像个傻瓜一样。他告诉我星期六晚上的聚会是很正式的，所以我就穿上西装，戴上领带。可是其他人都穿园领衫和牛仔库。我真感到自己好像是个傻瓜一样。”

在一般情况下，人们总是设法把别人弄得很傻，但是也有人由于自己的行为不当而把自己弄得像个傻瓜蛋一样。例如，下面这个人在说的这个孩子就是如此：

例句-4: "Tom made a monkey out of himself by jumping up and down and yelling when his father wouldn't let him go to the movie."

这个人说：“汤姆因为他爸爸不让他去看电影就一个劲地上下乱跳，嘴巴里还大声乱叫，简直把自己弄得像个傻瓜一样。”

我们今天讲了两个和monkey 有关的俗语。它们是 monkey business 和 to make a monkey out of somebody。
