轻松日记商务职场篇115:不要轻视不如你的人(在线收听

   核心句型:

  Never look down on people less superior to you.
  不要轻视不如你的人。
  look down on sb./sth. 直译过来就是:“向下看某人或某物”,这个短语的正确意思是:“轻视某些人或事”。因此,当美国人说"Never look down on people less superior to you."时,他/要表达的意思就是:"Never despise those people who are inferior to you."、"Never look down on those who are not so outstanding as you."。
  情景对白:
  Benjamin: Jane, you should not look down on people less superior to you. Men are born equal! Your words may hurt that cleaner's self-esteem.
  本杰明:简,你不要轻视不如你的人。人人生而平等,你刚才的话可能伤害到那位清洁工人的自尊心了。
  Jane: I'm sorry. I, I'm just...a little angry at her carelessness.
  简:我也感到很抱歉。我,我只是对她的粗心大意感到有些生气。
