核心句型：
Only the blue-eyed boys could be promoted quickly.
只有讨领导欢心的员工才能快速升职。
blue-eyed boys直译过来就是：“蓝眼睛的男孩们”，这个短语的正确意思是：“受到领导宠爱和特别照顾的员工”。因此，当美国人说"Only the blue-eyed boys could be promoted quickly."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"Those who play up to the boss can be promoted quickly."、"Only the employees who please the leader can be promoted."。
情景对白：
Jane: She is always bringing the boss's daughter some gifts when she comes back on business.
简：她出差回来总是会给老板的女儿带些礼物。
Shirley: Only the blue-eyed boys could be promoted quickly.
雪莉：只有讨领导欢心的员工才能快速升职。

③How dare you conflict with your boss?

④No pains, no gains. But working hard not always gets a promotion.
虽然说不劳不获，但努力工作也未必可以升职。
