輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇 第60期:少和說人閑話的人聊天
I don't like to chat with people who dish the dirt about others.
我可不愿意和那些愛說人閑話的人聊天。
dish the dirt about others直譯過來就是：“把關(guān)于別人不好的東西裝盤”，這個(gè)短語的正確意思是：“論人是非，說人閑話”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"I don't like to chat with people who dish the dirt aboutothers."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思是"I don't like to chat with the ones who spread gossip."、"I willnot chat with people who talk about others behind their backs."。
情景對(duì)白：

Shirley: I don't like to chat with people who dish the dirt about others.
雪莉：我可不愿意和那些愛說別人閑話的人一起聊天。
