轻松日记商务职场篇24:遵守规定不挨批

 　　核心句型：

　　Follow the rules and you won't get chewed out.

　　遵守规定你就不会挨批。

　　get chewed out直译过来就是：“被嚼碎了”，这个短语的正确意思是：“被训斥，挨批”。因此，当美国人说"Follow the rules and you won't get chewed out."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"If you follow the rules, you won't be criticized."、"Follow the rules and nobody will find faults with you.".
