　　You'd better shape up if you want to stay on.

　　如果你還想留下來的話，最好乖一點(diǎn)兒。

　　shape up直譯過來就是：“塑造好的形象”，這個(gè)短語的正確意思是：“好好表現(xiàn)，好好干”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"You'd better shape up if you want to stay on."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"You must performwell if you want to keep this job."、"You have to behave yourself if you don't want to getfired."。

　　情景對(duì)白：

　　Terry: My boss always asks me to go on business. I can't bear it.

　　泰瑞：老板總讓我出差。我受不了了!

　　Benjamin: Buddy, you'd better shape up if you want to stay on. Never fight against your boss.

　　本杰明：兄弟，如果你還想留下來的話，最好乖一點(diǎn)兒。永遠(yuǎn)不要跟老板做對(duì)。

　　搭配句積累：

　　①I protest about having to work overtime every night.

　　我抗議每天晚止都加班。

　?、赟ince the boss isn't here, how about getting off earlier?

　　既然老板不在，提前下班怎樣?

　?、跿he manager has formed an unfavorable opinion of my work. This is unbearable!

　　經(jīng)理對(duì)我的工作有成見。真是受不了了!

　?、蹹on't nose into other people's business.

　　不要打探別人的事情。

　　單詞：

　　1. shape up 表現(xiàn)良好

　　Girls are being recruited now. I heard they are shaping up very well.

　　現(xiàn)在開始招女兵了，我聽說她們表現(xiàn)很好。

　　It is no use simply to tell adolescents to shape up and do something useful.

　　僅僅告訴青少年要品行端正，做有意義的事，是沒有用的

　　I'm now giving you a last chance either shape up or ship out.

　　我現(xiàn)在給你一個(gè)最后的機(jī)會(huì),要就改進(jìn)你的表現(xiàn),否則你就離開這里。

　　2. nose into 打聽，查探
