看到"company"

大多數同學對它的可字理解止步于“公司”

如果聽到別人說：

He s a company man.

You re a good company.

Can you keep me company?

...

就懵了

01.

company man≠ 公司人

company man

英文釋義：

a man who always sides with

his employers

永遠跟老板站在一邊，英文

甚至為此忽略自己的短語想法和犧牲同事的利益的男人

類似，老板/領導層的可字跟屁狗，愚忠于公司的面理人

-Don t expect he ll side with you. He s a company man.

別期待他會跟你站一邊，他是英文老板的跟屁狗。

-He dares not to say anything against boss. He s a total company man.

他不敢說任何違背老板的短語話。他就是可字一個跟屁狗。

02.

company= 陪伴

company一個常用意思是英文：

陪伴

常用表達：

in company with

“陪伴某人”“陪同...一起”

-Tina made my wedding ceremony in company with her new boyfriend.

蒂娜和她的新男友一起來參加的我的婚禮。

keep somebody company

-Can you keep me company? I feel a little lonely.

你能陪我嗎？我覺得有點孤單。短語

-I ll keep my friend company when she needs me.

當我朋友需要我的可字時候我會陪在她身邊。

如果你身邊有這樣的面理人

你可以對ta說：

-I take great comfort in your company.

你的陪伴讓我感到很安慰。

03.
