工作:高收入就得忍受苛刻老板?
對話原文及知識點
對話一:
A: You are applying for the GM position? That’s super cool.
B: Can you keep a secret? I sort of wanna fly under the radar.
A: That’s not gonna happen. You hold the spotlight.
B: I just wanna keep low-profile.
知識點:
1. fly under the radar 低調,不張揚
2. hold the spotlight 成為焦點
3. low profile
= low key 低調
對話二:
A: So how’s work?
B: Frustrating. My boss never listens to me. He’s always had this "my way or the highway" attitude going on. And he even tries to force his religion down my throat.
A: That’s annoying. But at least your pay is way above average.
B: That’s right. Still, I hate the job.
A: Come on. You can’t have your cake and eat it.
知識點:
1. my way or the high way 要麼聽話,要麼走人
2. force sth. down one’s throat 把某物強推給某人
3. have one’s cake and eat it 又想馬兒跑得塊,又想馬兒不吃草 ; 魚和熊掌都想兼得
思考題
"The proof of the pudding is in the eating." 是什麼意思?
