英语笑话听力+文本:CEO 总裁(在线收听) |
Tom told his friend, "My brother has a job with ten thousand people under him." His friend replied, "Wow! He must be the CEO of a corporation." Tom said, "No,he cuts the grass in a cemetery."
Notes:
1. Tom told his friend, "My brother has a job with ten thousand people under him."
汤姆告诉他的明友:“我兄弟的手下有一万人。”
"under"在这里可以指“在…的下面”,也可以指“在某人的监督、掌控之下做…”例如,美国知名系列剧《六尺风云》 (Six Feet Under),探讨的是关于死亡的问题;如果我们说 "Someone is six feel under.",则表不“某人已经死去。”
因为美国人会将棺材埋在六尺深的地下。
2. His friend replied, "Wow! He must be the CEO of a corporation."
他的朋友回答:“哇!他一定是公司的总裁。”
CEO 总裁(chicf executive officcr 的缩写)
corporation [ˌkɔ:pəˈreɪʃn]n.公司
3. Tom said, "No,he cuts the grass in a cemetery."
汤姆说:“不是,他帮公墓的草坪除草。”
cemetery [ˈsemətri]n.公墓 |
