美國(guó)俚語(yǔ)大全:Better place什么意思?

同事Mary另謀高就已有一段時(shí)間。一些平時(shí)與她聯(lián)絡(luò)的客戶向我問(wèn)她的近況。

我就回答說(shuō)：“She is at a better place now”客戶聽(tīng)了後變得很愕然，還很悲哀地問(wèn)："What? How sad! What happened to her?" 我看到他那樣子，明白我用錯(cuò)了詞句，馬上解釋說(shuō)："she found a new job。 She is working at a better place now。"

因?yàn)?quot;She is at a better place。"的意思是："她已上了天堂" !
