BEC商务英语中级口语话题：马马虎虎
|
BEC核心句型： What we want is a plan that can fill the bill, not just a fair to middling one. 我们要的策划不能马马虎虎，必须十全十美。 fair to middling 在口语中表示：“马马虎虎，还过得去”，追求完美的人肯定不想要一个只是还过得去的，而是符合要求、出类拔萃、十全十美的。因此，当美国人说"What we want is a plan that can fill the bill, not just a fair to middling one."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"We expect a satisfying plan, not this casual one."、"We want a plan which is totally up to the mustrad, not a passable one."。 情景对白： Terry: Sir, what do you think of this plan? 泰瑞：老板，您认为这个策划怎么样?
