輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇 第153期

字號(hào):

核心句型:
    The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on the nose.
    會(huì)議將于下午兩點(diǎn)整開(kāi)始。
    on the nose直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是:“在鼻子上”,這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是:“準(zhǔn)確地”。因此,當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on the nose."時(shí),他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"The meeting will start at 2 p.m. sharp."、"We will have a meeting at exactly 2 p.m.."。
    情景對(duì)白:
    Terry: There's a meeting this afternoon. Do you remember when it is?
    泰瑞:今天下午有個(gè)會(huì)議,你還記得是幾點(diǎn)嗎?
    Benjamin: The meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on the nose.
    本杰明:會(huì)議將于下午兩點(diǎn)整開(kāi)始。
    搭配句積累:
    ①Can you tell me when the meeting will be held?
    你能告訴我會(huì)議幾點(diǎn)開(kāi)始嗎?
    ②What did the group leader inform us?
    組長(zhǎng)剛才通知我們什么?
    ③What did you say just now? I didn't hear you.
    你剛才說(shuō)什么?我沒(méi)聽(tīng)見(jiàn)。
    ④Take it easy. There is enough time left.
    別著急慢慢來(lái)。剩下的時(shí)間足夠了。
