輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第123期:腦袋進(jìn)水
Do you have rocks in your head?
你腦袋進(jìn)水了嗎?
have rocks in one's head字面意思是：“腦袋里有石頭，”想想看腦袋被石頭堵住了，人的思路就不清晰，腦袋就不好使了吧。這也就是漢語里面所說的：“缺心眼兒，腦袋進(jìn)水了”，形容人傻乎乎的，缺乏判斷力，思路不清晰。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"Do you have rocks in your head?"時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"You are so stupid."、"You are such an idiot."、"How can you be so silly?"。
情景對(duì)白：
Assistant: What do you think if I put Jenny and Jessie together in charge of the ad campaign?
助理：你覺得我安排珍妮和杰西兩人負(fù)責(zé)廣告宣傳怎么樣?
Benjamin: Do you have rocks in your head? There is bad blood between them. Don't you realize?
本杰明：你腦袋進(jìn)水了嗎?她倆之間有嫌隙，你不知道嗎?
搭配句積累：
①I think one super star is better than many unfamous models to endorse our product.

②Why couldn't we give our clients the lowest price to keep them?

③I have asked the manager to carry out the plan.
