【Oral English】
1.L: Hi, Monica, how are you doing today?
早，Monica，今天感觉怎样？
How are you doing?
你好吗？
英语中常见的打招呼用语，如：
-How are you doing？
-I'm doing good.
Doing在这里不是“做什么”的意思，good 这个形容词也被当作副词用，美国人平常就这么说，相当于熟人见面时说：“你怎么样？”“挺好的。”
类似的问好方式还有：
-How's everything going?
-Howdy!
-What's up?
几句话都相当于“你怎么样？”“你好吗？”但如果细究，第一句似问对方最近一切是否顺利；第二句据说是从How do ye?这句19世纪初的问候语简化而来；而第三句则侧重问对方那里有没有新闻，但实际就是打招呼。
2.L: Your supervisor, Mr. White was out on a business trip.
你的上司，怀特先生出差去了。
supervisor 主管人，导师
如：The supervisor always start his new employee on the lobster shift.
领导总是让刚开始工作的新职员值夜班。
As her immediate supervisor for the last two years, I can state that she is a very good secretary.
作为她二年来的直接领导，我可以说她是一位优秀的秘书。 |
