轻松日记商务职场篇214:没那回事(在线收听) |
核心句型: Nothing of the sort!
没那回事!
Nothing of the sort!同Nothing of the kind!一样,都表示:“没有那种事,没那回事”。因此,当美国人说"nothing of the sort!"时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"That kind of thing doesn't exist!"、"There's absolutely no such thing!"、"I didn't do such things at all!"。
情景对白:
Boss: Why didn't you choose the usual one? Did this logistic company give you any rebates?
老板:为什么不选经常合作的那家,这家物流公司给你回扣了吗?
Benjamin: No. Nothing of the sort! It's just because they offered a better price.
本杰明:没啊,没那回事,只是因为这家公司出价更低。
