put words in/into sb's mouth

​

to suggest that someone meant one thing when really they meant another

曲解(某人)的话，故意歪曲(某人)的话

实际上这个俗语发生的情况就是某人硬把ta认为的你的话的意思安到你头上，认为你说的话是ta理解的那个意思。有种替某人说出你觉得别人应该说的话的意思，但往往情况都并不属实。

Stop putting words in my mouth - I didn't say you looked fat in the red dress - I merely said you looked very slim in the black!

别曲解我的话——我并不是说你穿红色显胖——我只是说你穿黑色显得非常苗条!
