red tape官僚的作业流程。几个世纪以来，英国的律师和官员都是以红色的书带绑住一沓沓的文件，因而狄更斯在他的作品中，以red tape来讽喻死板苛刻的法规和流程，沿用至今，这个短语便被用来形容官僚体系的作业流程。
看看老外聊天时怎么用red tape：
Rachel: How was your vacation?
Paul: It was great. My wife and I just fell in love with the island.
Rachel: Then why don"t you invest in a villa there?
Paul: We thought about it, but the red tape is crazy.
Rachel: That"s too bad. If you bought a villa, I could visit you.
雷切尔：你的假期如何？
保岁：很棒，我太太跟我都爱上了那座岛。
雷切尔：那你们何不在那里投资栋度假别墅呢？
保罗：我们考虑过，但申请的流程太复杂了。
雷切尔：真可惜，如果你买下度假别墅的话，我就可以去参观了。
