「to turn over in one's grave」是指死者死不瞑目。在此處,圖伊太太的朋友覺得麥克跟圖伊一家一起生活會讓她過世的父親「死不瞑目」。 例:My grandpa would turn over in his grave if he knew I quit being a lawyer. (如果我爺爺知道我不當律師,他會死不瞑目的。) 例:I can't believe we're moving out of our family home. Great-grandma is probably turning over in her grave. (我不敢相信我們要從祖宅搬走。曾祖母會死不瞑目的。)
