輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇第202期:誠(chéng)實(shí)可靠
He is on the up and up.
他這個(gè)人誠(chéng)實(shí)可靠。
on the up and up 直譯過來就是：“不斷向上”，這個(gè)短語的正確意思是：“誠(chéng)實(shí)的，正派的，老實(shí)可靠的”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說"He is on the up and up."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"He is honest and reliable."、"He is a decent, upstanding man."、"He is on the level."。
