第41讲 最后一句话 The last word & Make someone tick2010-04-11 11:04:25 来源:世博英语
作为领导,他们讲话总是在别人讲完之后进行。一来可以借鉴别人的意见,二来也是一种总结。所以在英文中the last word就变为了一个片语,意思是“最后一句话,决定性的话,决定性的因素,决定性的定论等”。 Your interest is very important on choosing careers, but not the last word. Most of the time, you must consider your abilities and skills. 这个片语现在使用非常广泛,有时也写作the final word. The idiom refers to some power or ingredients which is to decide whether or how to do something, sometimes which is crucial. For another example: I don’t appreciate people who always have to have the last word on everything. 当然作为领导他们还必须善于激励员工努力工作(make someone tick),为企业创造更大的价值。对了,这里片语make someone tick的意思就是“激励某人去做某事”。如: When you consider possible careers, you should see what makes you tick to choose it. I mean thinking about your motivation is important too. Tick意思是“划勾号”,从字面意义上来看,make someone tick的意思是“对某人做的事情划勾号”,这就包含有“肯定其工作、从而起到激励作用”的意思。The idiom, to make someone tick, means to prove what a person have done is correct, therefore to encourage him or her to continue. For example: Her first success made her tick to work even harder. 结束语:我们的“地道美语表达”每一讲在文末都会有一个结论性的话语(the last word),这样大家才能进一步使新学知识得到巩固。同时,我们还力求精简,既不耗费大家大多时间,又富有知识性趣味性,也才能激励(make them tick to do something)大家继续学习下去。
