職場(chǎng)社交04我會(huì)讓你發(fā)財(cái)

SCENE② A 隔周，吉娜到老板的隔間去看他
【我會(huì)讓你發(fā)財(cái)】
Zina: Hi, boss. You wanted to see me?
吉娜： 嗨，老板。你說(shuō)要見(jiàn)我？
Vince: Zina. Look, I know when I 1) hired you, I told you I'd pay you a salary. But I just can't.
文斯： 吉娜。聽(tīng)著，我知道當(dāng)我雇用你之時(shí)，我說(shuō)過(guò)會(huì)付你薪水?？墒俏覜](méi)辦法。
Zina: Excuse me? I hope I didn't just hear what I think I just heard.
吉娜： 你說(shuō)什么？我希望我不是真的聽(tīng)到我以為我聽(tīng)到的。
Vince: I know it's 2) awkward, but you're going to be thanking me later. I'm going to make you rich.
文斯： 我知道這說(shuō)來(lái)尷尬，不過(guò)你以后會(huì)感謝我的。我會(huì)讓你發(fā)財(cái)。
Zina: You're going to make me rich by not paying me?
吉娜： 你要用不給我薪水的方法讓我發(fā)財(cái)？

【look聽(tīng)著】
很奇怪，怎么英文的look會(huì)翻譯成中文的“聽(tīng)著”？其實(shí)這正說(shuō)明文化的差異。在英、美社會(huì)里，要對(duì)方在意你即將說(shuō)的話，最普遍的語(yǔ)詞是look，而我們?cè)谕瑯忧闆r下卻說(shuō)“聽(tīng)著”。
A:Look, I'll give you ten dollars if you sweep the room for me.
聽(tīng)著，如果你幫我掃房間，我就給你十塊錢。
B:Sounds reasonable.
聽(tīng)起來(lái)蠻合理的。
1) hire (v.) 雇用
2) awkward (a.) 令人尷尬的的，感到尷尬的
