輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇第217期:扭轉(zhuǎn)局勢(shì)

核心句型：
We can only rely on this new product to tip the scales.

我們只能通過這款新產(chǎn)品扭轉(zhuǎn)局勢(shì)。

tip the scales 中scales是“天平”之意，英語語言認(rèn)為在極小的干擾下，天平具有恢復(fù)自身平衡的能力;而tip有“使傾斜”的意思，所以這個(gè)短語指打破原有平衡，進(jìn)入一種新秩序，即：“扭轉(zhuǎn)局勢(shì)”的意思。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"We can only rely on this new product to tip the scales."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"We have to change the situation by releasing the new product."、"The only way of turning the tables lie sin the new product."。

情景對(duì)白：
Boss: We must ensure the success of our new product launch. We can only rely on this new product to tip the scales.

老板：一定要保證這次新產(chǎn)品發(fā)布會(huì)的成功舉辦，我們只能通過這款新產(chǎn)品扭轉(zhuǎn)局勢(shì)了。

Benjamin: Yes, you can count on it. And I hope we can win customer's trust again.

本杰明：是的，您盡管放心好了。我希望我們能再次贏得客戶的信任。
