以下是查字典为大家整理的关于商务英语口语:得饶人处且饶人的文章,供大家学习参考!
BEC商务英语核心句型:
Get off the doggie’s tail.
得饶人处且饶人,放他一马吧!
Get off the doggie’s tail. 直译过来就是:“放过狗尾巴”,显然不能这样望文生义,这个句子的正确意思是:“得饶人处且饶人,放别人一马”。因此,当美国人说"Get off the doggie’s tail."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"Let him off."、"Let’s forgive him if possible."、"Let’s be lenient whenever it is possible."。
情景对白:
Terry: That guy betrayed us. I hate his guts. It’s not enough to just fire him.
泰瑞:那个家伙背叛了我们。我对他恨之入骨。炒掉他还不够解恨。
Benjamin: Enough, Terry. Get off the doggie’s tail.
本杰明:行了,泰瑞。得饶人处且饶人,放他一马吧!
