辦公室英語(yǔ)留條后路口語(yǔ)
下面是CN人才網(wǎng)小編提供的辦公室英語(yǔ)留條后路口語(yǔ),快來(lái)看看吧。
核心句型:
You'd better hedge your bets.你最好給自己留條后路。
hedge one's bets 直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是:“用樹籬笆圍住某人的賭注”,在口語(yǔ)中表示努力使自己做到萬(wàn)無(wú)一失,避免可能的損失(尤指不只把錢投在一種生意上),所以這個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)的正確意思也就是:“躲避風(fēng)險(xiǎn),留條后路”。因此,當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"You'd better hedge your bets."時(shí),他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"You should leave yourself a route to retreat."、"Leave yourself a way out."。
情景對(duì)白:
Jane: I've made up my mind and I'm gonna submit my resignation after work today.
簡(jiǎn):我下定決心了,準(zhǔn)備今天下班后遞交辭呈呢。
Shirley: Are you serious? Well, you'd better hedge your bets. Don't fall out with the general manager while resigning.
雪莉:你是認(rèn)真的?好吧,你最好給自己留條后路。辭職時(shí)不要跟總經(jīng)理鬧翻。
搭配句積累:
、貲on't rush to resign before contacting a new job.
還沒有聯(lián)系好新工作以前,先不要忙著辭職。
、贒on't displease everyone before you quit.
不要在你離開之前把所有人都得罪了。
