轻松日记商务职场篇,第217期:扭转局势|轻松职场包括哪?
核心句型： We can only rely on this new product to tip the scales. 我们只能通过这款新产品扭转局势。 tip the scales 中scales是“天平”之意，英语语言认为在极小的干扰下，天平具有恢复自身平衡的能力；而tip 有“使倾斜”的意思，所以这个短语指打破原有平衡，进入一种新秩序，即：“扭转局势”的意思。因此，当美国人说"We can only rely on this new product to tip the scales."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"We have to change the situation by releasing the new product."、"The only way of turning the tables lies in the new product."。 情景对白： Boss: We must ensure the success of our new product launch.
