辦公室英語留條后路口語

　　下面是CN人才網小編提供的辦公室英語留條后路口語，快來看看吧。

　　核心句型：

　　You'd better hedge your bets.你最好給自己留條后路。

　　hedge one's bets 直譯過來就是：“用樹籬笆圍住某人的賭注”，在口語中表示努力使自己做到萬無一失，避免可能的損失(尤指不只把錢投在一種生意上)，所以這個習語的正確意思也就是：“躲避風險，留條后路”。因此，當美國人說"You'd better hedge your bets."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"You should leave yourself a route to retreat."、"Leave yourself a way out."。

　　情景對白：

　　Jane: I've made up my mind and I'm gonna submit my resignation after work today.

　　簡：我下定決心了，準備今天下班后遞交辭呈呢。

　　Shirley: Are you serious? Well, you'd better hedge your bets. Don't fall out with the general manager while resigning.

　　雪莉：你是認真的?好吧，你最好給自己留條后路。辭職時不要跟總經理鬧翻。

　　搭配句積累：

　　①Don't rush to resign before contacting a new job.

　　還沒有聯系好新工作以前，先不要忙著辭職。

　　②Don't displease everyone before you quit.

　　不要在你離開之前把所有人都得罪了。

　　③Be sure to have your offer in hand before you resign.

　　確保在遞交辭呈之前已是聘書在手。

　　④Keep in touch with coworkers you have worked with, for they may lend you a hand someday.

　　College entrance exam is often likened to thousands of people and horses trying to cross a narrow footbridge.

　　Concerned parents will have taken time off work to cook for their children. They'll have mapped out the route to the exam hall, booked hotel rooms nearby and looked out cabs with lucky number plates.

　　報道中的plate就是我們日常所見的“車牌”。如果您想強調“帶有車牌號的車牌”，可在plate前面加上number;而如果您言談的重心是在“車牌號”上，則可表達為plate number。例如：The car, with the plate number W856RKX, has fled the scene after running into the poor old man.(車牌號為W856RKX的肇事車輛撞了那位可憐的老人后從現場逃跑。)

　　另外，再介紹兩個與plate相關的詞組：put up one's plate指的是“醫生掛牌行醫”;而hand/give sb. sth. on a plate則是指“爽快地給某人東西”，如：You can't expect people to give you all the answers on a plate.(你不要指望別人會把答案順順當當地向你和盤托出。)
