輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第226期:大人物

核心句型：
You know those bigwigs are really hard to please.

你要知道，那些大人物真的很難伺候。

bigwig的意思是：“大人物、權(quán)貴之人”。在很早以前，人們有一種習(xí)俗，戴著假發(fā)來遮掩亂糟糟的頭發(fā)。在英國，假發(fā)根據(jù)不同社會階級和職業(yè)而有所區(qū)別，那些重要人物的假發(fā)往往比一般人的要大得多，所以后人就用“大假發(fā)”來形容“大人物”了。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"You know those bigwigs are really hard to please."時，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"You know those big shots are hard to please."、"You know it's hard to serve those VIPs."。

情景對白：
Shirley: Why should I be left holding the baby? You know those bigwigs are really hard to please.

雪莉：為什么把這個苦差事留給我干?你要知道那些大人物真的很難伺候。

Jane: Oh, come on! They're VIPs of our company. We all want to know them. You're so lucky!

簡：噢，別抱怨啦!他們可是我們公司的貴賓啊。我們都想認(rèn)識他們。你太幸運(yùn)了!

搭配句積累：
①How is your work today?

今天工作怎么樣?

②I really admire at your fortune to serve them.

真羨慕你這么幸運(yùn)，可以接待他們。

③You look so exhausted. What's the matter?

你看起來精疲力竭，怎么了?

④I was suddenly scrambled when they were getting impatient.

他們開始不耐煩了，我頓時手忙腳亂。

單詞：
scramble vt. 倉促完成，手忙腳亂

People were scrambling madly for shelter.

人們瘋了似的搶著往隱蔽處跑。

When the police arrived , the robbers had scrambled out of the windows.
