輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第118期:搶上司風(fēng)頭不明智

核心句型：It's not wise to steal the show from your superior.

搶上司風(fēng)頭是不明智的。

steal the show直譯過來就是：“偷走炫耀，偷走這個表演”，這個俚語其實(shí)是用來形容在表演時配角搶了主角的風(fēng)頭，引申為“出風(fēng)頭，搶鏡頭”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"It's not wise to steal the show from your superior."時，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"It is not smart to cut a smart figure in front of the boss."、"It is unwise to push yourself forward in front of your boss."。

情景對白：Terry: I feel so happy that I've successfully dealt with those clients.

泰瑞：真高興，我今天成功應(yīng)付了那些客戶。

Benjamin: But have you noticed your boss's embarrassment? It's not wise to steal the show from your superior.

本杰明：但是你注意到你老板的窘態(tài)沒?搶上司的風(fēng)頭是不明智的。

搭配句積累：①You'll put him in a very awkward position.

你會令他處境難堪的。

②You should learn to save his face instead.

你應(yīng)當(dāng)學(xué)著給他留面子。

③After all there are so many colleagues on the scene.

畢竟當(dāng)時有那么多同事在場。

④Sorry, I can't be aware of it.

抱歉，我沒有注意到這個問題。
