輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第173期:膚淺的主意
How do you come up with all these half-baked ideas?
你怎么會想出這么膚淺的主意?
half-baked idea中half-baked意思是：“烘焙一半的”，這個俚語可以用來比喻一個想法或設(shè)計未經(jīng)過嚴密通盤的思考，換句話說，也就是：“未成熟的，不可行的，膚淺的”。因此 ，當(dāng)美國人說"How do you come upwith all these half-baked ideas?"時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"How can you put forward such unfeasible ideas?"、"How can you bring out these ideas without thinking over?"。
情景對白：
Jane: Sir, here are my design drawings for our new product. Please have a look.
簡：老板，這是我設(shè)計的新產(chǎn)品款式圖紙，您看一下。
Boss: Are these your ideas? Unbelievable! How do you come up with these half-baked ideas?
老板：這些就是你的設(shè)計嗎?真是難以置信，你怎么會想出這么膚淺的主意?
搭配句積累：
①You have been given almost a month to prepare for it.
你有差不多一個月的時間來準(zhǔn)備呀。
②Haven't you realized its importance to our team?
你沒有意識到它對我們團隊的重要性嗎?
③Sorry. I'll revise my design drawings to meet your requirement.
對不起，我會根據(jù)您的要求來修改設(shè)計圖紙。
④Sorry. Please give me another chance.
對不起，請再給我一次機會。
