輕松日記商務職場篇第116期:不要輕視不如你的人

核心句型：
Never look down on people less superior to you.

不要輕視不如你的人。

look down on sb./sth. 直譯過來就是：“向下看某人或某物”，這個短語的正確意思是：“輕視某些人或事”。因此，當美國人說"Never look down on people less superior to you."時，他/要表達的意思就是:"Never despise those people who are inferior to you."、"Never look down on those who are not so outstanding as you."。

情景對白：
Benjamin: Jane, you should not look down on people less superior to you. Men are born equal!Your words may hurt that cleaner's self-esteem.

本杰明：簡，你不要輕視不如你的人。人人生而平等，你剛才的話可能傷害到那位清潔工人的自尊心了。

Jane: I'm sorry. I, I'm just...a little angry at her carelessness.

簡：我也感到很抱歉。我，我只是對她的粗心大意感到有些生氣。

搭配句積累：
①Yes, I will keep it in my mind.

是的，我會記住的。

②You'd better mind your own business.

你最好少管閑事。

③It is none of your business. What makes you say that?

又不關你的事，你憑什么這么說?

④Maybe they would be stronger than you some day.

或許將來有一天，他們將會比你強。
