英语俗语: To bend the rules（放宽规定/通融）。 

破坏规定（Breaking the rules）是一回事,放宽规定（Bending the rules）是另一回事。 

"To bend the rules "指的是做一些不允许的事或批准他人做一些通常不允许的事。

有时我们会在不幸或意外的境地下放宽规定。

例句：

"When he allowed Zeke to turn in his research paper a week late, Professor was bending the rules. However, he also knew that his students had been having troubles at home. ”

允许Zeke晚一星期交研究论文，是教授对Zeke的通融。但教授也知道他的学生家里遇到了麻烦。

你有过放宽规定或求别人为你通融一下的时候吗？
