2014商务英语口语对话职场篇

He always gets in Dutch with the boss.

他经常得罪老板。

get in Dutch with sb. 这个俚语来源于十七至十八世纪的“英荷之战”,当时英国人对荷兰人非常憎恨,他们在重创荷兰人之余,还在语言上得理不饶人,在许多场合都用Dutch一词表示厌恶、轻蔑之意。这个俚语的意思就是:“得罪某人”。因此,当美国人说"He always gets in Dutch with the boss."时,他/她要表达的'意思就是:"He always causes offence to his boss."、"He often displeases his boss."。

情景对白:

Jane: He has a high opinion of himself. The boss seems to be fed up with him.

简:他这个人很自负,老板似乎很烦他。

Shirley: Yes. He always gets in Dutch with the boss. Who would like to have such an employee?

雪莉:是啊,他经常得罪老板,哪个老板会喜欢这样的员工啊?
