A: Have you talked to Mr. Lambert about Ian's obscene speechtowards you?
A: 你跟 Lambert 先生提过 Ian 对你讲的猥亵的话吗?
B: Yes, but he brushed it off as if it were not a big deal tohim.
B: 有! 但他轻轻带过(不理), 好象他觉得那并没有什么!
"brush away(aside)" 也是"不理"的意思.如"He brushed aside ourobjection."(他无视我们的反对).
类似的说法还有, this is a serious mistake. you shouldn't justshrug it off like that.
