輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇第152期:無(wú)法告知準(zhǔn)確消息

核心句型：
I can't tell you the information off the top of my head.

我沒(méi)辦法立刻告訴你準(zhǔn)確消息。

off the top of one's head直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“不在某人的頭頂”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“沒(méi)有經(jīng)過(guò)仔細(xì)考慮或仔細(xì)計(jì)算”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"I can't tell you the information off the top of my head."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"I can't tell you the exact information because I don't know whether the news is true or not."、"I can't tell you the information because I can't make it for sure right now."。

情景對(duì)白：
Terry: Someone says that we will be sent to Japan for business next Friday, and we will stay there for a week. I s that true?

泰瑞：據(jù)說(shuō)我們下周五將被派到日本出差，還會(huì)在那兒待上一周，是真的嗎?

Benjamin: I can't tell you the information off the top of my head. I'll have to check it.

本杰明：我沒(méi)辦法立刻告訴你準(zhǔn)確消息，我得核實(shí)一下。

搭配句積累：
①The boss will come to inspect our work, right?

老板要來(lái)視察我們的工作了，是嗎?

②Will our boss come back from the business next week?

我們老板是不是下周出差回來(lái)啊?

③When will the negotiation be held?

談判什么時(shí)候舉行啊?

④It is said that the opening ceremony will be held in two days.

據(jù)說(shuō)開(kāi)幕式兩天后舉行。

單詞：
ceremony n. 儀式

I have to say that this opening ceremony was the most impressive I have EVER seen.

我必須說(shuō),這是我迄今為止看過(guò)的最令人深刻的開(kāi)幕式。

There are many people who should be thanked today, as it is due to their hard work and dedication that this graduation ceremony is possible.

沒(méi)有他們辛勤的工作和無(wú)私的奉獻(xiàn),就沒(méi)有今天的這場(chǎng)畢業(yè)典禮。

Among all societies legal marriage is usually accompanied by some kind of ceremony that expresses group approval of the union.

在所有社會(huì)中,合法婚姻通常伴有某種表示大家認(rèn)可的儀式。
