　　B: But most bosses are fools for woman.

　　對(duì)話精講

　　第一、地道表達(dá)

　　【核心短語(yǔ)】an article

　　【解詞釋義】an article的原意是“文章”“條款”或“物品”。后來(lái)用它來(lái)指“任何卑鄙的人”。大概是由于大多數(shù)可鄙之人都詭計(jì)多端，因此該短語(yǔ)都引申為“聰明的人”或“機(jī)靈的人”。

　　【典型范例1】You are an article and you cannot be taken in by such a rogue.

　　你是個(gè)非常聰明的人，不會(huì)上這么一個(gè)無(wú)賴(lài)的當(dāng)。

　　【典型范例2】An article cannot be led by the nose.

　　聰明的人不會(huì)讓人牽著鼻子走。

　　【典型范例3】Henry was an article, superior to Jones.

　　Herry是個(gè)聰明的人，論才干超過(guò)了瓊斯。

　　【典型范例4】He was an article I've ever met, with a phenomenal IQ and a steel-trap mind.

　　他是我見(jiàn)過(guò)的最聰明的人，智商高得驚人，腦筋快極了。

　　第二、詞海拾貝

　　be sure of：相信

　　【典型范例1】Can I be sure of a profit if I invest?

　　我要是投資, 肯定能獲利嗎?

　　【典型范例2】Make sure of your facts before you write the article.

　　先弄明白事實(shí)，然后再寫(xiě)文章。

　　cope with：對(duì)付......

　　【典型范例1】We have taken on extra staff to cope with the increased workload.

　　我們已經(jīng)額外雇用員工來(lái)應(yīng)付增加了的工作量。

　　【典型范例2】The king convoke parliament to cope with the impending danger.

　　國(guó)王召開(kāi)國(guó)會(huì)以應(yīng)付迫近眉睫的危險(xiǎn)。

　　get in Dutch with：得罪

　　【典型范例】He has a high opinion of himself which makes him either get cross with a co-workerin the factory or get in Dutch with the boss.

　　他這個(gè)人很自負(fù)，這使得他不是和廠里的同事過(guò)不去就是得罪于老板。
