輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第141期:交由屬下負(fù)責(zé)
The new manager leaves this project at the mercy of his subordinates.
新任經(jīng)理將這個(gè)項(xiàng)目完全交由手下去負(fù)責(zé)。
at the mercy of直譯過來就是：“在……的仁慈下”，這個(gè)短語的正確意思是：“受……支配，由……負(fù)責(zé)”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"The new manager leaves this project at the mercy of his subordinates."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"The new manager leaves this project in the charge of his subordinates."、"The new manager lets his subordinates manage the project."。

本杰明：新任經(jīng)理將這個(gè)項(xiàng)目完全交由手下去負(fù)責(zé)。
