办公室英语背黑锅口语
这是CN人才网小编搜集的办公室英语背黑锅口语,希望大家喜欢。
核心句型:
He has been left holding the bag.他一个人背下了黑锅。
left holding the bag 是相当古老的习惯用语,从1760年起就流传了,但没有确切出典,有一种猜测是这里的bag可能是装赃款赃物的袋子,同伙听到了警报都走了,就剩拿着袋子的那个人被抓,人赃俱获。现在这个短语的意思是:“替别人背黑锅,或独自承担错误和罪责”。因此,当美国人说"He has been left holding the bag."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"He has been made into a scapegoat."、"He has been unjustly blamed."、"He has been left to take full responsibility."。
情景对白:

你遭遇“新年障碍”了吗?
新的一年来到,每个人都期望新年有新气象,有新的.收获。可因为习惯思维的关系,大家在新年的前几周会时不时地把新年的日期写成去年的。这样的情况,我们就叫做new year's block。
New year's block is a condition that usually takes place the first couple of weeks into the new year, in which a person keeps writing in the last/previous year in place of the new one.
New year's block(新年障碍)是在每年刚开始的那几周会频繁发生的一种情况:人们在填写日期的时候,会在本该写新年份的地方习惯性地写上刚刚过去那一年的数字。
For example:
This is my third check today I write in the "old" year! I guess I got new year's block.
这是今天第三张把日期错写成去年的支票了!我猜我是患了新年障碍了。
