我們在前幾期中學(xué)習(xí)了一些社交生活中常見的“吵架式英語”，但是在生活中，萬事還是以“和”為貴哦，接下來，小編給大家準(zhǔn)備了人在職場謹(jǐn)記和為貴,歡迎大家參考與借鑒。

　　人在職場謹(jǐn)記和為貴

　　You're getting on my nerves.你又開始做讓我心煩的事了。

　　Nerve：神經(jīng);Get on my nerves：觸動我的神經(jīng)，讓我心煩。這句話比較口語化，用途很廣，既可以在真生氣時(shí)用，也可以在嬌嗔撒嬌時(shí)用。還可以說You're starting to get on my nerves.

　　You're really irritating me.你真讓我煩哪!

　　Irritate表示使人心煩，讓人著急，使人生氣的意思。

　　Calm down.鎮(zhèn)靜一些。一般是對精神上處于不安定狀態(tài)的人說的話。例如：

　　A：Oh my God! Oh, no! What am I going to do!?哦，天哪!哦，不!我該怎么辦呀!?

　　B：Just calm down.鎮(zhèn)靜一點(diǎn)!

　　C：What are you doing? You are driving me crazy!你簡直要讓我發(fā)瘋了!

　　D：Hey, you have to calm down a bit.引申用法：abit：一點(diǎn);cool down別緊張，冷靜點(diǎn)。cool的本意是涼的，在這里的意思是冷靜下來。當(dāng)對方火氣很大時(shí)，你就可以用cool down來勸免一場舌戰(zhàn)。

　　That's not an ice thing to say.你這樣說也太失禮了。當(dāng)你聽到不敬的話語時(shí)就可以用這句話來反擊。例如：

　　A：Why are you so stupid?

　　B：Hey,that’s not an ice thing to say.

　　引申用法：

　　Don't over do it.別說得太過分了。

　　比如有人沒禮貌地說：Why are you so fat?你就可以用上面兩句予以回?fù)簟?/p>

　　Don't get so uptight1.何必當(dāng)真了呢?用up tight來表示“緊張的”、“焦急的”、“在意的”狀態(tài)。生活中朋友之間可能會開開玩笑，如果朋友當(dāng)真了，你就可以說：Hey, don’t get so uptight.表示：別太在意啦，我剛剛只是開玩笑的哦。例如：

　　A：What? You mean I'm too short?什么?你是說我太矮了?

　　B：Don't get so uptight.別當(dāng)真嘛。

　　引申用法：

　　Don't get so worked up.放松點(diǎn)兒。

　　Don't be so stiff.別這么較真兒。

　　Loosen up.隨便點(diǎn)，放輕松。

　　I didn't mean to hurt you./ I meant no harm.我沒有故意傷害你的意思。

　　另外還能用Kick back!表示放松點(diǎn)兒，悠閑自得地、放松地、舒適地。含有不緊張，精神上放松的語感。Just relax、Take it easy、Just hang loose等都是放松點(diǎn)的意思。例如：

　　A：Kick back, make yourself at home.隨便些，就像在自己家里一樣。

　　B：Thanks. 346. Can't we talk it over?我們就不能好好談?wù)剢?

　　talk over表示“通過相互談話達(dá)到了相互理解”。有人對你兇巴巴地說話時(shí)，你可以先用calm down讓其冷靜下來，然后了解原因的時(shí)候，你就可以說：Can’t we talk it over?

　　例如：

　　A：It's over. Get out!一切都結(jié)束了!給我出去!

　　B：Can't we talk it over?

　　引申用法：Let's work it out.我們好好解決這件事吧!這里work out的意思是解決。

　　Let’s try to get along.我們試著好好相處吧。

　　Let’s be nice to each other.我們還是以禮相待吧。

　　Let's forgive and forget!過去的事就讓它過去吧。

　　這里的forgive指原諒，forget指忘記。

　　引申用法：Let by gones be bygones.諺語，意思是過去的就讓它過去吧。

　　Can't we patch things up?我們就不能和好嗎?

　　用patch up表示平息爭吵與不合。還能說：Isn't there any way we can patch things up?就沒有什么辦法讓我們和好嗎?

　　擴(kuò)展：如何克服缺乏動力

　　By Dr. Annette Colby, RD, the Official Guide To Energy Healing

　　It happens to all of us at some stage - you want to achieve change in your life, but just cannot motivate yourself to do it. You really want to reach success, lose weight, or eat differently, but just do not have the push or willingness to take action. Every time you think about getting started on your desire to change, something more important comes up, like washing the dog or running your mom's errands. 我們每個(gè)人在某個(gè)階段都會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己想改變生活，但是卻找不到動力。你很希望成功、希望減肥、或改變飲食，可就是沒有采取行動的動力或積極性。 每次當(dāng)想要改變時(shí)，就會有更重要的事情出現(xiàn)，比如給狗洗澡或給母親跑腿。

　　The good news is that every person, including you, has the amazing potential to turn his or her desires into reality. You can achieve your dreams! However, to do so, you have to know how. It is easy to reach a high level of motivation once you know the few important areas to focus on. To increase your motivation, follow the simple steps outlined below: 好消息是包括你在內(nèi)的每個(gè)人都有將愿望實(shí)現(xiàn)的驚人潛力。你是能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)夢想的!不過，你必須知道如何來實(shí)現(xiàn)。 一旦你知道了幾個(gè)需要關(guān)注的方面，那么獲得動力就是很容易的事情。要提高動力，可以按以下方法來做：

　　1. Motivation and Goal Setting

　　動力和目標(biāo)設(shè)定

　　When it comes to living a healthy and confident life, real goal achievement involves much more than good intentions. For example, it is not enough to know you want to eat differently or that you want to lose weight. Motivation can be defined as an impulse to channel energy and action toward a specific goal. This means, 1) you have to know what you want and be passionate1 about it, and, 2) you have to know how to set a goal. Goal setting is a powerful skill to learn because you give yourself a specific direction and you give your energy a precise focus. 要過上健康自信的生活，僅有好的意愿是不行的。例如，光知道你想改變飲食或減肥是不夠的。所謂動力就是引導(dǎo)你為一個(gè)目標(biāo)投入精力和行動的沖動。這就是說，1)你得知道自己想要什么，并對此有激情;2)你得知道如何設(shè)定目標(biāo)。設(shè)定目標(biāo)是一種需要學(xué)習(xí)的重要技巧，因?yàn)槟愕媒o自己一個(gè)明確的方向，為你的精力找一個(gè)精確的焦點(diǎn)。(to be continued)
