详解

字面是「装成一瓣蒜」，与蒜无关，千万别直译成 pretend to be garlic。实为北方口语，指明知底细却故意装糊涂、一问三不知，多含贬义或调侃，常见于追问、对质、推卸责任的场合。play dumb 侧重装不知情，play innocent 侧重装无辜。

Don't play dumb with me — I know you were the one who told her.

别跟我装蒜了，我知道是你告诉她的。

He played dumb when the boss asked who had leaked the memo.

老板问谁把备忘录泄露出去了，他就装蒜不吭声。
