就在Catherine接到E公司的電話通知沒幾天,她又接到另一個F公司的電話,告訴Catherine她被錄取了,相比較前一個工作,這個工作似乎更有發(fā)展前景,但她又擔心自己對這個公司的相關(guān)領(lǐng)域不熟,自己不能勝任。就在她猶豫不決的時候,Jenny對她說,Don't pass up this job.聽了她這句話,Catherine終于下定決心接受這份工作。
C:I have just recieved a call from F company telling me that I'm admitted. The job they offered seems to have a greater potential than the former one.But I'm not familar with the relating area.I am not sure whether I can handle it.

【小編的小喇叭】
Don't pass up this job.別放棄這個工作
pass up 是拒絕的意思
美語中pass這個詞的意思非常豐富。它可以表示“經(jīng)過”,如pass a post office 經(jīng)過郵局; 也可以表示“通過”,如pass an examination通過考試;還可以表示“忽略”,如“pass trivial details 忽略細枝末節(jié)。
有一句關(guān)于pass的常用口語Let it pass表示暫且不談的意思
