语言详解
A: How many people did the company hire this year?
公司在今年雇用了多少人?
B: Over two hundred.
超过两百个。
【look听着】
很奇怪,怎么英文的look会翻译成中文的“听着”?其实这正说明文化的差异。在英、美社会里,要对方在意你即将说的话,最普遍的语词是look,而我们在同样情况下却说“听着”。
A:Look, I'll give you ten dollars if you sweep the room for me.
听着,如果你帮我扫房间,我就给你十块钱。
B:Sounds reasonable.
听起来蛮合理的。
1) hire (v.) 雇用
2) awkward (a.) 令人尴尬的的,感到尴尬的
