职场上10句黑话不懂就会被蒙在鼓里.docx

【华尔街英语职场救急】职场上10句黑话，不懂就会被蒙在鼓里！你会多少汉语成语？成语成语，约定俗成。懂这个“俗”的人自然对成语一点就通，但如果不懂，不仅享受不到这种便利，反而会南辕北辙地误解它的意思，华尔街英语告诉你，不仅中文有成语，英语也有许多俗语，无论学习还是工作，玩耍还是生活，老外口中的各种黑话都会让你丈二和尚摸不着头。比如，你的上级领导是个老外，你讲了一个很棒的生意上的idea给他，他却说“Just do it, but on a shoestring”。你会怎么应对？shoestring是鞋带的意思，那么on a shoestring就是……在鞋带上的意思？于是你蹲在老板办公室前系了一整天的鞋带。在华尔街英语担任了多年外教、同时拥有丰富经验的外教Robert，就经常会注意这些“职场黑话”，并将之记录在册，整理成为供学员学习的英语材料。想知道老师都整理了哪些内容吗？不想再因为不懂黑话而“吃瘪”了吗？那就放空大脑，一起来看看哪10句黑话比较常见吧！ 1. at the 11th hour这是“十一点”的意思吗？ 华尔街英语纠正：掐在12点前的最后一小时，意思是非常迟，到了最后的关头例：They made the deal at the 11th hour.2. on a shoestring这是“在鞋带上”的意思吗？华尔街英语纠正：小本经营，在低投入、小成本中运作例：They started their promotion on a shoestring and got a great success.3. bring to the table这是“带到桌子上来”的意思吗？华尔街英语纠正：能放到台面上的东西，也就是能出得了手的东西例：I will meet with Teacher Joes new company to show him what we can bring to the table.4. get your foot in the door这是“跨进门”的意思吗？华尔街英语纠正：推开了一扇新的大门，进入新领域的同时意味着大量的机遇在等待着。例：Right now, I just want to get my foot in the door, so they can see what I can do.
