轻松日记商务职场篇 第45期:付出才会有收获
核心句型:
You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs.
做任何事如果不努力的话,最得不到结果的。
cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs直译过来就是:“不打碎鸡蛋就做不了煎蛋卷”,这个短语的正确意思是:“天下没有白吃的午餐,付出才有收获”。因此,当美国人说"You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"You must work hard if you want to success."、"No pains, no gains."。
情景对白:
Lenna: I failed to get promoted again.
