輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第117期:在辦公室大喊大叫

核心句型：
Why did you yell bloody murder in the office?

你干嘛在辦公室大吼大叫?

yell bloody murder字面意思是：“您看到血腥謀殺一樣地叫嚷”，就像漢語中經(jīng)常使用的那個(gè)比喻“殺豬一樣的嚎叫”，是一個(gè)非常生動(dòng)的習(xí)語，既包含了吵的架勢，也包含了鬧的色彩。這是個(gè)典型的美式口語，在英國則用scream blue murder表達(dá)同樣的意思。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"Why did you yell bloody murder in the office?"時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Why did you scream in the office?"、"Why did you shout in the office?"。

情景對白：
Jane: What happened?Why did you yell bloody murder in the office? I was in the other room.

簡：發(fā)生什么了?你干嘛在辦公室大吼大叫啊?我剛才在另一間辦公室。
