情境短語
1. get acquainted (with……)(和`……)認識,熟悉……
這個常用的短語暗示雙方從不認識到熟識,“get”可換“become”。若是短語之后,要加上被認識的對象,以介系詞“with”連接。
例:Our boss got acquainted with a couple of real estate agents in the golf Club.
(我們老板在高爾夫俱樂部里結識了幾位做房地產的商人。)
2. on top of things 完全掌握
字面的意思是將問題克服,高高踩在上面,引申為“控制全局”。
例:The new manager was always worried he wasn't on top of things.
(新經理一直擔心自己無法掌握全局。)
3. (a) force to be reckoned with 值得注意的人物
“(a)force”,“力量”,可以指一個團體、事物或個人:“reckon”在此的意思為“認定”。“a force to be reckoned with”是形容“有成功的條件而值得注意的人物、團體”。
例:The new company will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
(這家新公司未來值得大家注意。)
4. Don't I know it. 我完全同意!
當此句型以句點(。)而非問號結尾時,表示完全同意對的方意見,為口語用法,強調的是肯定的含意。意思為“我怎會不知道!?;我當然明白這一點!”。
例:You say the discount rate is too low? Don't I know it!
(你說這折扣打得太少?我完全同意!)
5. in a nutshell 簡言之
“nutshell”原為“堅果殼”,又指“極小的容器”,故“in a nutshell” 這個副詞短語的意思是“簡言之”。
例:Bob told us in a nutshell what happened in the managers' meeting.
(Bob簡略地告訴我們經理們開會的情形。)
6. growth sector 成長領域
這個經濟學上的名詞是指經濟成長特別快速的領域,“sector”是“區(qū)域;部門”的意思。
例:The leisure and entertainment industry is a growth sector in Taiwan.
(休閑娛樂業(yè)是臺灣目前的成長領域。)
