轻松日记商务职场篇46:把握机遇心想事成

 　　核心句型：

　　He who seizes the right moment is the right man.

　　谁把握机会就能心想事成。

　　the right moment直译过来就是：“正确的时刻”，这个短语的正确意思是：“适当/合适的时机”。因此，当美国人说"He who seizes the right moment is the right man."时，他/她要表达的意思就是: "Your dream will come true if you grasp the chance."、"What you want to do will be done if you seize the opportunity."。

　　情景对白：

　　Jane: Guess what? I will be transferred¹ to the sales department next week.

　　简：知道吗？我下周就要调到销售部去啦。

　　Shirley: Oh, that's great! You've grasped the chance. He who seizes the right moment is the right man.

　　雪莉：哦，真是太好了！你抓住这次机会了。谁把握机遇就能心想事成。
