23 forgiveness is between them and god

In the church, they say to forgive. Forgiveness is between them and God. It is My job to arrange the meeting. (Man on Fire)

男主去枪杀腐败官员的时候说的。大概意思说, 宗教劝人向善,信奉上帝,如果兢兢业业,死后可以见到上帝。 原谅就是向善的一部分,只是信徒和上帝之间的默契,某一些人认为他们的工作就是送他们见上帝。

这个说法在当年普京采访也提到,当时记者问普京关于中东地区反恐地区中穆斯林、宗教的情况,普京就是这么说的,

“原谅他们是上帝的事情,而我的任务是送他们去见上帝。在机场抓到恐怖分子就在机场击毙,在厕所抓到就溺死在马桶里”。

54 monetization

这是一句有非常地道的用法的句子。Facebook的营收中有多少是直接来自用户数据的货币化的?

monetization = 货币化,很常用,monetization of claims (collection),催收案件证券化 revenue comes from 也是一个比较好的方法。例如回答杜邦公式,How much of ROE comes from leverage? ROE 中有多少是杠杆中得到的?

55 my only beef with sth

My only beef with sth

什么并不好,缺点。

My only beef with edarf is that I don’t love the plots. Blog

My only beef with the show… posted 4 years ago by rixter Really loved the show. I think it was one of the funniest, most believable sitcoms of all time. Having said that,young actor Larry Matthews, who played son Richie, has to be one of the least talented child actors I’ve ever seen. I know he wasn’t supposed to be a major character, but jeez, couldn’t they find someone who didn’t act like he was just reading from cue cards? The only one that might be worse is Lilly from Modern Family.

56 not at all

60 petti-size

petti size

library(knitr)

女士衣服一般都很多专有的词汇,正如女鞋一样。 一般先讨论尺码 (size),一般对身形小的,有一个词汇叫做 petti (ultimately from French petit, “small”)

  1. 这个词来自法语,不是很好发音,pe 读音取paper 后一个音,tti 谐音 T,因此一般词典解释的不好。
  2. 这个词不是贬义,而是古典时期,法国、意大利这些国家讲究时尚,特定为身材娇小女性打造的一种类型。 这个词其实在美国的大型商场用到很多,比如 Bloomdale 或者 Northstrom。

这一类衣服统称为 Petti Coat。 一般来说,特点就是有下摆,叫做 Petti Coat Hem

include_graphics("../figure/petti-coat-hem.png")

比如一般你喜欢穿的类型,叫做 Petti Dress,这是一个合成词,你先看下图片来自Bloomingdale

include_graphics('../figure/petti-dress01.jpg')

include_graphics('../figure/petti-dress02.jpg')

一般更加正式些,也就是小礼服,用于正式场合,叫做 Petti Formal Dress,这里的 formal 就是正式、正式场合的意思。

参考 Macy’s

include_graphics('../figure/petti-formal-dress.png')

这就是我仅仅知道的了,主要是以前和石头买衣服,每次我都会读错这个词,也不好意思问别人,我就好奇研究了下。

68 pull my leg

Is it real or are you pulling my leg? 真的假的?还是你在逗我?/开我玩笑? https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Y6o9mQoRJiXePAdPXRtagA

参考剑桥词典

  1. to try to persuade someone
  2. to believe something that is not true, as a joke

因此类似于 get out 表示不相信。

有种说法是最初人们看到有人故意把手杖伸在别人的腿脚下使他绊倒摔跤,于是从这种朋友间恶作剧中得到启发,就用这个短语表示「开玩笑」的意思了。 指的没有恶意的方式,是好朋友之间的插科打诨。使用的时候,不要弄错情景。

69 real emotion

分享歌词: It’s real emotion killing me,这份真挚情感折磨着我。 分享Paper Route的单曲《Real Emotion》: http://music.163.com/song/431753107/?userid=3615376 ()

77 sick

sick 是恶心的意思, I am sick on sth. 我对 sth 很不爽,可以是人可以是物。

78 skin deep

Well said! By the way,I’m a guy,but I don’t find girls with big boobs really that attractive. Maybe I’m the face and leg kind of guy, but what really matters is your true personality. Just like what they say : Beauty is just skin deep.

  1. big boobs 大胸并非是吸引人的。
  2. attractive ~ impressive 前者更容易形容主观的内容,后者相对客观。

08年在我央视听到这首歌 skin deep,其实这个词就是肤浅的意思。

出自

External attractiveness has no relation to goodness or essential quality. This maxim was first stated by Sir Thomas Overbury in his poem “A Wife” (1613): “All the carnall beauty of my wife is but skin-deep.“

All the carnall beauty of my wife is but skin-deep 我妻子的所有外在美貌都是肤浅的。

82 state of the art

当下最强 (State-of-the-Art)

state of the art 艺术级别的,表示是最强的,可以作为 best 的替代。

83 supposed-to

supposed to 用法

口语中,我看到材料中,一般都是很短的句子。

比如我们在看复联二的时候,

  • what xxx is supposed to be = should

这里的确是“应该的意思”,但是都是很短的句子。 比如这里 supposed to be,be 直译就是“是”的意思,连起来翻译就是“应该是的(样子)”。

我们再看一个句子,来自 Planet Money

So this is the way it was supposed to work - a simple reporting tool for good banks to stop bad employees. But what happens when the bank itself becomes the problem, when there are bad managers? This is what we’re hearing happened at Wells Fargo. The U5 became a weapon, a way to threaten and punish employees. (Smith et al. 2016)

这篇文章介绍了银行业的U5报告,主要是雇主可以再上面登记不合格的员工,防止其他雇主被坑。 那么看这里“it was supposed to work”,这里说的意思是“应该就起效了”。 然后下文作者又说,其实没有那么简单,因为雇主中也有不合格的,可以通过U5报告,反过来要挟员工。 例如富国银行前两年的丑闻。

回过头来,当时微信上想表达的句子可以写为

The xxx no is supposed to be xxx.

84 take-over

take over 本身有兼并收购的意思,但是也有占领,换位子的意思,这个闹过一个笑话。

今日头条 take over 百度,当时国内媒体翻译错了,以为是今日头条收购百度,其实实际上说的是今日头条的市值很高,已经取代了百度在BAT的地位。

85 teeth

  1. dentist n. 牙科医生
  2. clinic n. 诊所
  3. gum 牙龈

86 thank you

87 the stamina and the will

  1. You think about whether you have the stamina
  2. 你想知道你是否有耐力

the stamina and the will 精力和意志,可以用来衡量工作的能力和意愿,比 ability 和 willing 要地道。

88 the whole truth

The Truth – The whole truth – and Nothing but the truth.

美国法庭的誓词。

  1. 对于基督教徒,手按的是《圣经》,誓词为: I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth;
  2. 对于穆斯林,则是手按《可兰经》,将almighty God换成Allah;
  3. 犹太教则是手按《旧约》,誓词与基督徒相同;
  4. 对于不信教的人们来说,则是跟读下面一段誓词:I do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth。

89 time heals all

Time heals all. (CSI, S14E02)

时间治愈一切,一句安慰人的话。

90 title-level

企业职级划分

general managers (以下简称 GM)中文翻译为总经理,其实在不同领域会有不同的权利范围, 参考en.wikipedia.org

  1. 在老牌外企中,权力是很大的,可以说负责一家公司的盈亏,从这个意义上讲,和国内企业定义差不多。
  2. 在一些大型500强中,GM通常职能被 CEO 或者 president 替代。
  3. 但是在科技公司,它的 level 就相对低了,对应的是 产品经理 product manager,相当于项目负责人,对应地还有 country manager

总体来看, 参考www.zhihu.com

  1. 总监 director
  2. 总裁 president

从图中可以看到,有分 senior (资深、高级), principal (首席) 的,相对来说是职级比较低,需要细分的。

91 travel check list

92 turned its back

Ellie, I know it seems like the world has turned its back on you, but it’s not the case. (CSI, S14E01)

  3. it’s not the case. 和实际情况不符合。

93 undercover operation

undercover operation 卧底计划

94 use-the

the 的用法

94.1 身临其境

参考 WeChat Article

The fireworks are being prepared. The red envelopes are being filled. And, around the world, hundreds of millions of people are coming together to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

进行时态,而不是一般现在时,这样写能够让句子更有画面感,读者能够感受到人们正在准备烟花以及红包的场景。

red envelopes 是红包的意思。

特蕾莎(英国首相)用的是 The fireworks are being prepared. 而不是 Fireworks are being prepared. 这里借鉴了文学作品中一种常见的开头手法。

在文学作品中,作者往往在开头使用 the 来将读者引入小说的情景,使读者有一种身临其境的感觉。

因此这里用 the fireworks / the red 表达效果会更好,能让人感受到烟花和红包仿佛就在眼前。

94.2 泛指

参考 WeChat Article

  1. Since 2000, humans have been living in the space constantly.
  2. Books fill the leisure time for many people.
  3. The History shows that increased wealth and higher levels of education as economies develop make it almost impossible to prevent birth rates from falling.
  4. Homelessness is a serious problem for the society.
  • 虽然 leisure time 是组合名词,但是这里是泛指不用加 the
  • History 泛指历史,shows 见证
  • society 泛指社会,不用加 the

我的经验是如果上文没提到这个名词,就不加 the。难一些的是 leisure time,这个一般单靠语感或者语法都很难 100% 正确,因此需要大量积累,这四个很典型,因此可以先记忆。

95 walk away

But I think it was very brave of her to come out and then to keep cooperating and not to walk away.

141 deliver

142 sql

If you look at Oracle’s official documentation on SQL, it says it’s still pronounced “sequel” [2]. However, if you look at MySQL’s official documentation, it says “MySQL” is officially pronounced “‘My Ess Que Ell’ (not ‘my sequel’)” [3], and Wikipedia says SQL is officially pronounced “S-Q-L” and references an O’Reilly book on the subject [4]. So this is no help, the major sources aren’t agreeing on the way it’s “officially” pronounced. (Gillespie 2012) Since the language was originally named SEQUEL, many people continued to pronounce the name that way after it was shortened to SQL. Both pronunciations are widely used and recognized. As to which is more “official”, I guess the authority would be the ISO Standard, which is spelled (and presumably pronounced) S-Q-L. (Gillespie 2012)

Don Chamberlin 在邮件里面回复,这门语言一开始读 sequel,后来慢慢简短,读 S-Q-L。 所以单独读 SQL 发音 [ˈsikwəl],读 MySQL,读成 My-S-Q-L。

  1. “Structured English Query Language” (SEQUEL) [ˈsikwəl]

143 respite

Still, the heavens offer a pleasant respite from all the evisceration on the ground. Source: Reuters In this sentence, respite means:

  1. a period marked by distinctive character
  2. a harsh or critical view of a subject
  3. a pause for relaxation
  4. an unbroken period of time

A respite is a break from something that’s difficult or unpleasant. If you’re cramming for exams, take an occasional walk to give yourself a respite from the intensity.

Respite may look like it rhymes with despite, but this word has a stress on its first syllable (RES-pit). It comes from the Latin word respectus, meaning refuge, but we almost always use respite to describe a time, not a place, of relief. If you’ve been fighting with your partner, a visit from a friend might offer a brief respite from the argument, but the fight will pick up again when she leaves.
