輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇 第80期:輕松戰(zhàn)勝對(duì)手

核心句型：
I'm sure you'll walk over all the other competitors.
我肯定你能輕易勝過(guò)其他對(duì)手。
walk over直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“從上面走過(guò)去”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“輕松打敗，輕而易舉地勝過(guò)”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"I'm sure you'll walk over all the othercompetitors."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"I am sureyou will win without any difficulty."、"I believe thatyou will beat others in a breeze."。
情景對(duì)白：
Benjamin: The bid will begin soon. I am a little bitworried.
本杰明：競(jìng)標(biāo)馬上就要開(kāi)始了，我還是有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心。
Boss: I'm sure you'll walk over all the other competitors.
老板：我肯定你能輕易勝過(guò)其他對(duì)手。
搭配句積累：
①I(mǎi)t is a piece of cake for you.
這對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)簡(jiǎn)直小菜一碟。
②Keep your fingers crossed.
祝你好運(yùn)。
③Don't chicken out.
不要臨陣退縮。
④Just be confident. It's no big deal.
自信點(diǎn)，沒(méi)什么大不了的。
