请不要生我的气。这不是我的错。
It's his own stupid fault his car was stolen.
他的车被偷是他自己的愚蠢过错。
2)用blame(做动词或名词):
She is to blame.
都怪她。
If anyone's to blame, it's me.
如果要怪谁,那是我。
Don't blame me - it's not my fault.
别怪我-这不是我的错。
We shouldn't blame ourselves for what happened.
我们不应该为发生的事自责。
Do not blame it on him, for he has done his best.
别怪他,他已经尽力了。
Don't put the blame on me.
别怪我。
3)表示“别怪我”的其他表达:
Dot look at me!
