2013英語口語對話職場篇:得罪老闆?

【網絡綜合 - 英語口語】

核心句型:

He always gets in Dutch with the boss.

他經常得罪老闆。

get in Dutch with sb. 這個俚語來源於十七至十八世紀的“英荷之戰”,當時英國人對荷蘭人非常憎恨,他們在重創荷蘭人之餘,還在語言上得理不饒人,在許多場合都用Dutch一詞表示厭惡、輕蔑之意。這個俚語的意思就是:“得罪某人”。因此,當美國人說"He always gets in Dutch with the boss."時,他/她要表達的意思就是:"He always causes offence to his boss."、"He often displeases his boss."。

情景對白:

Jane: He has a high opinion of himself. The boss seems to be fed up with him.

簡:他這個人很自負,老闆似乎很煩他。

Shirley: Yes. He always gets in Dutch with the boss. Who would like to have such an employee?

雪莉:是啊,他經常得罪老闆,哪個老闆會喜歡這樣的員工啊?
