Larry和李华在一家咖啡店里聊天, Larry在告诉李华的办公室里最近发生的事。李华今天会学到两个常用语:head honcho和slam dunk。
LL: So, Li Hua, yesterday the head honcho of the company I work for came into the office.
LH: 谁到你们的办公室来?公司的head honcho? head是头脑, honcho是什么呀?
LL: A Head honcho is the person with the highest position in a company or organization. I think "honcho" actually comes from a Japanese word meaning leader.
LH: Head honcho就是一个公司,或一个机构的最高领导人。Honcho这个词原来是来自日文, 意思是领导人。Honcho听起来是像日文。听起来,你好像挺高兴看见你们公司的head honcho。
LL: Yes, indeed. I was very happy to meet the company president. I had never met the head honcho before.
LH: 你和他从来没有见过面? 难怪他来了你们都好像有点受宠若惊一样。那这位高高在上的主管为什么会突然到你们办公室去呢?
LL: Well, some of my co-workers have said that someone in our office is being considered for a promotion, but they don t know who. They think the head honcho came by to see the candidate for himself.
