轻松日记商务职场篇236:成为现实(在线收听) |
核心句型: I hope your idea takes wings.
希望你的想法能够成真。
take wings 直译就是:“插上翅膀”,汉语中也有为梦想插上翅膀这样的表达,意思是放飞自己的梦想,因为插上翅膀梦想就可以起飞翱翔了。所以这个习语的正确意思是:“起飞,成为现实”。因此,当美国人说"I hope your idea takes wings."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"I hope your idea will be fulfilled."、"I hope your dream will come true."。
情景对白:
Jane: Sir, I think the present job is not suitable for me. I've decided to work as a teacher. Please accept my resignation.
简:老板,我觉得目前这份工作不太适合我。我决定了要当一名教师,请接受我的辞呈。
Boss: Fine, if you say so, I have to accept it. I hope your idea takes wings.
老板:好吧,既然你这么说,我也就只好接受你的辞职,希望你的想法能够成真。
