这听起来很典型啊! 那天我上高中的侄女跟我说,她们学校里有个女生为了能参加啦啦队,不惜给教练买了一个特别昂贵的圣诞节礼物! 好了,我们再来听听刚才那段话:
Dont assume that the mayor has special fondness for you. If youre influential and can help her deliver on her campaign promises, shell compliment you, invite you out to dinner and treat you very specially. The truth is she CURRIES FAVOR with anyone she considers to be very important.
大家都特别讨厌爱拍马屁的人。可是,学校里,社会中,到处都是这样的人。在办公室里就更不例外了! 下面的例子就谈到了这么一个马屁精,让我们来听听看:
Isnt it obvious why Ralph nominated our boss as Supervisor of the Year? He just wants to get himself promoted to foreman and figures the boss might help arrange it if hes recognized for an important award. See? That why hes CURRYING FAVOR with him. Its so disgusting.
[这段话是说: 难道你看不出来拉尔夫为什么提名咱们的老板为年度最佳领导么? 他想晋升为领班,而他知道如果老板自己能够得到这个奖项,可能就会帮助他得到领班的职位。这就是他为什么老是拍老板的马屁。真令人恶心。]
真是! 办公室政治真让人头疼。碰到这种拍马屁的人,最好的办法就是别理他。慢慢他就会被所有同事孤立,我想这也不是个好受的感觉。Hes always currying favor with the boss. But in the end, hes quite isolated in the office. 他成天拍老板的马屁,不过最后,他在办公室特别孤立。
