輕松日記商務職場篇第173期:膚淺的主意
How do you come up with all these half-baked ideas?
你怎么會想出這么膚淺的主意?
half-baked idea中half-baked意思是：“烘焙一半的”，這個俚語可以用來比喻一個想法或設計未經過嚴密通盤的思考，換句話說，也就是：“未成熟的，不可行的，膚淺的”。因此 ，當美國人說"How do you come upwith all these half-baked ideas?"時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"How can you put forward such unfeasible ideas?"、"How can you bring out these ideas without thinking over?"。
情景對白：
Jane: Sir, here are my design drawings for our new product. Please have a look.

Boss: Are these your ideas? Unbelievable! How do you come up with these half-baked ideas?
老板：這些就是你的設計嗎?真是難以置信，你怎么會想出這么膚淺的主意?
搭配句積累：

②Haven't you realized its importance to our team?
你沒有意識到它對我們團隊的重要性嗎?
③Sorry. I'll revise my design drawings to meet your requirement.
