2014商务英语口语对话职场篇
核心句型:
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."。
