輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇第228期:熱情得讓人受不了
She'd kill the client with kindness.
她那股熱情勁兒會(huì)讓客戶受不了的。
kill someone with kindness字面意思是：“用溫柔殺死某人”，這只是一種夸張說法，其真正含義為：“熱情得讓人受不了”。打個(gè)比方，你去購物，本來只是想買件襯衣，可熱情有加的服務(wù)員不僅為你拿來了襯衣，還幫你搭配領(lǐng)帶、外套、褲子、鞋子，稱贊你眼光獨(dú)到、品位極高。最后你全都買下來了，不禁感嘆被他們的熱情給殺死了。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"She'd kill the client with kindness."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"She is too zealous to the client."、"She is too enthusiastic to the client."。
情景對(duì)白：
Jane: Listen! Her silver bell like giggling echoes again in the office.

Shirley: She'd kill the client with kindness.
雪莉：她那股熱情會(huì)讓客戶受不了的。

①The client has already felt uncomfortable.

②I think we should remind her to behave naturally.

③Don't worry. He enjoys that very much.

She was a zealous worker for charitable bodies.
她對(duì)慈善事業(yè)充滿熱忱。
