地道英語口語學習:Sack 解雇
Neil: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I’m Neil.
Helen: 大家好，我是Helen，歡迎收聽地道英語。
Neil: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Helen: 英語是在現實生活中不斷發(fā)展的語言，所以我們需要隨時更新詞匯，的方法莫過于收聽 BBC Learning English 制作的地道英語。
Neil: That’s right, Helen.
Helen: 今天你給我們準備的詞是什么？Neil?
Neil: Well today’s word is a very common word in English but it’s a word you probably never want to hear in relation to yourself.
Helen: That sounds scary! What’s the word?
Neil: Today’s word is to sack. S.A.C.K. Sack.
Helen: I thought a sack was a kind of bag.
Neil: It is, but we use the verb ‘to sack’ to refer to being dismissed from your job.
Helen: 那么說 to sack somebody 就是解雇某人的意思，炒魷魚。
Neil: That’s right. Your boss might sack you because you’re always late for work or because you do your job very badly.
Insert
A: Did you hear about Andrew?
B: No, what happened?
A: The boss sacked him.
B: He got sacked! Why?
A: Because he was late for work every day for a month!
Helen: 如果不干活，或者工作干得不好，都會遭到被解雇的厄運。
Neil: That’s right. It is very embarrassing and shameful to get the sack.
Helen: To get the sack?
Neil: Yes, that’s another way to use the word. It’s possible to say: I was sacked; or my boss sacked me; or I got the sack.
Helen: 看來，這個詞又有其他的用法，雖然意思相同。 Have you ever been given the sack, Neil?
Neil: Certainly not! I’m a true professional. Anyway, we’re nearly out of time.
Helen: So let’s recap. To sack somebody 就是解雇某人，to get the sack 就是說因為犯錯或者做了什么壞事，被解雇了，從而丟掉了工作。
Neil: Exactly so. Now it’s time for us to go now, Helen. See you all next time.
Helen: Yes, see you next time. Bye.
