这个习语可不是骂人的意思,相反它是一个在酒吧常用的表达,

3. She replied, 'I'll have a margarita. That's my poison.

她回答说:“我要一杯玛格丽塔。”我爱喝那酒。


如何把这个习语放到语境中,在日常生活中使用呢?

You can use "What's your poison?" to ask someone what drink they would like.  It is often used in a casual or playful manner.

For example, if you are at a bar with friends, you might say, 'Hey, what's your poison? ' to ask them what kind of drink they prefer.

例如,如果你和朋友在酒吧,你可以说,“What's your poison?”来问他们喜欢喝什么。
