輕松日記商務職場篇 第73期:用心工作

核心句型：
If you hope to keep your job, you'd better get onthe ball.
如果你不想丟工作，就最好用點心。
get on the ball直譯過來就是：“把球搶到手”，這個短語的正確意思是：“工作出色，用心工作”。因此，當美國人說"Ifyou hope to keep your job, you'd better get on theball."時，他/她要表達的意思就是"If you want to havethis job, you must try your best to do it."、"If youdon't want to lose your job, you have to workhard."。
