輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第240期:這山望著那山高

核心句型：
The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill.

這山望著那山高。

The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill. 本義是：“山丘另一側(cè)的草總是綠一些”，那么它的引申意義也就是我們漢語里常說的一句諺語：“這山望著那山高”，比喻對目前的工作或環(huán)境不滿意，老認(rèn)為別的工作、別的環(huán)境更好。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill."時，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是"People never feel satisfied with what they've already got."、"Man is always dissatisfied with his present condition."。

情景對白：
Terry: Hi, Ben, I intend to give up this dead-end job and seek a promising one.

泰瑞：嗨，本，我打算放棄這份沒有出路的工作，尋找一份更有前途的。

Benjamin: The grass is always greener on the other side of the hill. Tomorrow is promised to nobody. You'd better think twice before you act.

本杰明：這山望著那山高，誰也不能保證明天會怎樣。你最好三思而后行。

搭配句積累：
①Wise men don't care for what they can't have.

聰明人不會在乎得不到的東西。

②I advice you to think carefully before quitting.

③But they do provide a higher salary.

④Striving to do your job is the most important thing.

但是受過教育的女性更容易被引入無出路的工作。

The front is a dead end, hope is in the corner, the light shine.
