against the grain
英 美
It really goes against the grain to have to work on a Sunday.
星期天还得上班的确不合常情。
Privatization goes against the grain of their principle of opposition to private ownership of industry.
私有化与他们反对产业私有制的原则相违背。
But what is asked of us here goes against the grain of our human nature.
但是,上主要求我们所做之事有违人性的本质。
