輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇第17期:替人說好話
Can you put in a good word for me to get that job?
我想得到那份工作，你能幫我美言幾句嗎?
put in a good wor for me 直譯為“為我說一句好話”，這個(gè)短語的真正意思是：“幫我美言幾句”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說:"Can you put in a good word for me to get thatjob?"時(shí)，他要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Can you recomment me for the job?"、"I want to get that job, so can you introduce me to your company?"、"Can you give me some help to get that job?"。

Benjamin: No problem. But it is your own effort that counts.
本杰明：沒問題。但是最終還是要看你的努力。
搭配句積累：
?、買 really like that job, and I have applied for it.
我真的很喜歡那個(gè)工作，而且我已經(jīng)申請(qǐng)了。
?、贗 have always been thinking of working in this company, so I'd like to attend the interview.

?、踂hat do you want me to do to help you?
