輕松日記商務(wù)職場(chǎng)篇第204期:有失尊嚴(yán)

核心句型：
It is not beneath your dignity to apologize to your subordinate.

向你的下屬道歉并不會(huì)有失尊嚴(yán)。

beneath your dignity 直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“在你的尊嚴(yán)下面”，這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的正確意思是：“有損你的尊嚴(yán)，有失尊嚴(yán)”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"It is not beneath your dignity to apologize to your subordinate."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"You won't lose face to apologize to your subordinate."、"You won't lose your dignity to make an apology to your staff."。

情景對(duì)白：
Benjamin: It is not beneath your dignity to apologize to your subordinate, buddy.

本杰明：兄弟，向你的下屬道歉并不會(huì)有失尊嚴(yán)。

Terry: You're right. I shouldn't have scolded him without reason. I'll apologize to him.

泰瑞：你說(shuō)得對(duì)。我不該無(wú)故責(zé)罵他。我會(huì)向他道歉的。
