商務(wù)英語(yǔ)交流中的幾種新鮮的說(shuō)法 |
|
1. add up to合計(jì)達(dá);總括起來(lái)意味著。此語(yǔ)本義指“合計(jì)為”,在日常生活中多用喻義,即“總括起來(lái)意味著”。在使用中應(yīng)注意與“add up”一詞的區(qū)別!癮dd up”本指“把 … 加起來(lái)”,其喻義為“言之有理,說(shuō)得通”,如:The facts just don't add up.(這些事情合計(jì)起來(lái)不對(duì)頭。)A: The cashier said he had locked the safe before he left. 出納說(shuō)他走時(shí)把保險(xiǎn)柜鎖上了。 B: But how did the money disappear from it if it was locked? 如果鎖上了那錢怎么沒(méi)的? A: I just wonder ... 我只是奇怪……B: What do you think it all adds up to? 你想這一切意味著什么? A: It adds up to the fact that we have been cheated. 意味著我們被騙了。 2. agree to differ求同存異。指的是“各自保留不同意見(不再說(shuō)服對(duì)方)”,意即“求同存異”。 A: What do you mean? 你是什么意思? B: Considering the major contracts they might give us, I overlooked the small loss. 考慮到他們可能與我們簽訂大宗合同,小小的損失我就忽略不計(jì)了。 A: So you agreed to differ? 所以你就求同存異? B: That's right. 沒(méi)錯(cuò)。 3. all told合計(jì);總之。此語(yǔ)原義為“總計(jì),合計(jì)”,引申為“總之”。如:All told,it was a great credit to them.(總之,這給他們大大增了光。)A: How many people attended today's meeting?有多少人參加了今天的會(huì)議? B: There were seventeen of us at the meeting, all told. 一共有十七個(gè)人。 A: Issue an announcement that if somebody doesn’t attend meeting next time, his or her bonus will be deducted. 發(fā)布一則通知,就說(shuō)如果有人下一次不參加會(huì)議,他或她的獎(jiǎng)金全扣。 4. all wet搞錯(cuò)了。wet原義為“濕的”,引申為某人“沒(méi)經(jīng)驗(yàn)”。All wet多見于美國(guó)俚語(yǔ),意為“大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)”。 A: I made a reservation two days ago. My name is David Johnson. 我前天在這兒預(yù)訂了房間,我叫戴維-約翰遜。 B: Reservation? What do you mean? 預(yù)訂?什么意思? A: I booked a single room here for tonight. 我訂了一間今晚的單人房。 B: Oh! You're all wet, actually. This is not a hotel. The hotel is the building across the road. 哦,你搞錯(cuò)了。這不是旅館,旅館是路對(duì)過(guò)的那座樓。
