輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇 第70期:花言巧語(yǔ)哄騙老板

核心句型：
He is so good at giving the boss a snow job.
他多擅長(zhǎng)花言巧語(yǔ)哄騙老板呀。
snow job這個(gè)俚語(yǔ)在日常生活很常見(jiàn)，它的意思是：“以天花亂墜式的迷惑性言語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō)服或欺騙他人”，強(qiáng)調(diào)欺騙者所編的謊言很有迷惑性。常用來(lái)推銷商品、騙取錢(qián)財(cái)、討好上司或贏取耳根軟的女性芳心。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"He is sogood at giving the boss a snow job."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"He is really skilled in coaxing theboss."、"He really excels at kissing up to theboss."。
情景對(duì)白：
Terry: Wow, look, he is so good at giving the boss a snow job.
泰瑞：哇，看吶，他多擅長(zhǎng)花言巧語(yǔ)哄騙老板呀。
Benjamin: Yeah. What can we say? The boss just knuckles under to that.
本杰明：是啊，我們能說(shuō)些什么呢?老板就吃他那一套。
搭配句積累：
①It seems that he is born a good liar.
他似乎生來(lái)就是個(gè)謊話高手。
②Actually, he is absolutely incompetent for that position.
事實(shí)上，他根本不能勝任那個(gè)職位。
③Yes, this is a good way to keep his bread and butter.
是啊，這可是他保住飯碗的良方。
④But his lies will be seen through some day.
但是他的謊言總有一天會(huì)被拆穿。
