身邊的朋友誰的美語特別溜!?誰能來到美國完全沒有語言障礙?恐怕為數不多吧。就連很多在學校、公司單位的在職人員,不少人也是半調子。他(她)們都在尋求快速學習美語的方式,有人真的找到了!
職場英語
我是一家公司的員工,由於英文水平較差,在工作過程中遇到不少困難。於是,我參加了當地的成人英文學習班。由於我的英文基礎實在太差了,上課的老師又是美國人,不會中文,全部都用英文來授課,我根本就聽不懂⋯⋯
lighten 當動詞有「使變輕;使變亮」的意思,引申為「讓人變開心」。當我們叫人 Lighten up. 就是要他停止負面的情緒,不要再抱怨、苛責、或消沈了。
on board可指「搭乘(車、船、飛機等)」或「到職」,引申為「同意的」,常見的句型為 be on board with sth.,例如:I’m on board with it.「我同意」。
oll 可以解釋為「損害」,當我們說一個事物 take a toll on sb./sth.,就表示做那件事,或是使用某種東西會傷害人的健康,或對物品造成損害。
over one’s head 無法應付;自不量力
這句話是形容某人處於無法掌控的狀況,或是嘗試去做超過自己能力太多的事情。
