【push one's luck 得寸进尺】
人有时候不懂得察言观色,吃了一点甜头还不知节制,若是你遇到这种“得寸进尺”push one's luck 的人,就可以送他这句话 Don't push your luck.“你别得寸进尺了。” 给他来点小小的警告,以免对方乐极生悲。
A: I will be in charge of this company in five years.
我会在五年内掌管这家公司。
B: Don't push your luck. If the boss hears you say that, you'll be without a job.
你别得寸进尺。要是老板听到你说这话,你连工作都会没有。
【I'm in. 我加入】
I'm in.这个好用又好记的短句的意思是“我加入”。举凡你被询问到参加的意愿,只要你想加入,都可以用上这个句型;
相反地来说,若你不想加入,或是加入了以后想要放弃,你就可以说 I'm out.“我退出,我放弃”。
A: We're all going swimming in the lake. Are you coming?
我们要去湖中游泳,你要来吗?
B: Yep, I'm in.
好,我加入。
1) negotiate (v.) 协调,商议
