2008-12-31 10:37 If 如果
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothin in you
Except the Will which says to them:"Hold on! |

他建议说我们可以在我的大夜班之后一起去吃东西.
轮班这个字在英文里叫 shift, 例如三班制就叫 three shifts. 例如, "We have to work in three shifts to keep the company running." (我们必须轮三班制来保持工厂的运转.) 我想大家都知道三班制就是日夜, 小夜班和大夜班. 在英文里日班就是 day shift 或是 regular shift, 小夜班是 night shift. 那大夜班呢? 有一个很有趣的讲法, 叫 graveyard shift. |
2008-12-16 10:16 4. Bottom line: We have to turn into profit by 2002.
最重要的是: 我们必须在 2002 年前转亏为盈.
大家看过财务报表没? 上面是一大堆密密麻麻的数字, 告诉你公司的资产有多少, 折旧多少, 应收帐款多少. 但是这些都不是最重要的, 最重要的在最最下面那一行 (bottom line), 叫净赚 (Net earnings) 告诉你这家公司总共加起来到底是赚钱还是赔钱, (这其实才是最重要的, 不是吗?) 所以 bottom line 这个字后来就变成了有‘最重要的是...’的意思. 例如商场上有句名言, "In bus |
2008-12-16 10:14 1. In the middle of something?
正在忙吗?
我知道有许多许多的人, 对于某一种概念学会了一种说法之后, 从此就只会用这种说法. 例如‘你在忙吗?’这个句子, 很多人在国中起就知道要说, "Are you busy?" 讲到了来美国留学三年, 他还是只会说 "Are you busy?". 其实有时候我们的眼界要放广一点, 对于同一个概念要有不同的变化. 就像是 "Are you busy?" 这句话, 其实老美也很常用 "In the middle of something?" , (但这句话比较接近于 "Are you |

If a man deceives me once, shame on him, if he deceives me twice, shame on me.
上当一回头，再多就可耻。
If you make yourself an ass, don‘t complain if people ride you.
人善被人欺，马善被人骑。
If your ears glow, someone is talking of you.耳朵发烧，有人念叨。
