[轻松日记商务职场篇,第237期:成为现实] 职场越往上爬越轻松
核心句型： I hope your idea takes wings. 希望你的想法能够成真。 take wings 直译就是：“插上翅膀”，汉语中也有为梦想插上翅膀这样的表达，意思是放飞自己的梦想，因为插上翅膀梦想就可以起飞翱翔了。所以这个习语的正确意思是：“起飞，成为现实”。因此，当美国人说"I hope your idea takes wings."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"I hope your idea will be fulfilled."、"I hope your dream will come true."。 情景对白： Jane: Sir, I think the present job is not suitable for me. I"ve decided to work as a teacher. Please accept my resignation. 简：老板，我觉得目前这份工作不太适合我。我决定了要当一名教师，请接受我的辞呈。 Boss: Fine, if you say so, I have to accept it. I hope your idea takes wings. 老板：好吧，既然你这么说，我也就只好接受你的辞职，希望你的想法能够成真。 搭配句积累： ①I"d like to quit and go abroad for further study. 我想要辞职，并且去国外深造。 ②To be honest, I want to set up my own business. 老实说，我想试着自己创业。 ③I want to change my working environment. 我想换个工作环境。 ④I want to expand my horizon in a larger field. 我想到更大的领域去拓展我的视野。 单词： horizon n. 视野，眼界 As your horizons expand, these new ideas can give a whole new meaning to life. 随着眼界不断开阔，这些新观念会为生活赋予全新的意义。 By embracing other cultures and genres, we actually broaden our horizons, rather than narrow any existing ones. 通过接纳其他文化和体裁，我们实际上拓宽了领域，而不是让现有的范围变得狭窄。
