If you have heard American English, you probably have heard this: You better treat him with kid gloves.

Is someone telling you to put on a pair of gloves? Let's listen again.

是叫你戴上手套麼？一起來聽聽吧。

I heard Sam is really upset.

Really?

真的？

Yes, and he may be upset for a while.

是的，他可能煩一陣子了。

You better treat him with kid gloves.

It sounds as if Sam needs to be treated carefully and gently.

聽起來需要小心溫柔地對待Sam。

That's what "treat him with kid gloves" means.

這就是“帶着羔羊皮手套對待他”所表達的意思。

Gloves made from kid leather -- leather from a lamb or young goat -- are soft.

由小山羊皮（是羔羊皮或者小山羊皮）製成的手套，很柔軟。

So if someone is angry, or upset, you might need to "treat him with kid gloves" -- very carefully.

所以如果某人很生氣，心煩意亂，你可能需要溫柔地對待他哦（treat him with kid gloves），要異常的小心。

You better treat him with kid gloves.
