硬核习语shape up or ship out:要么好好干,要么走人!
from 早餐英语|实用英文口语
“Shape up or ship out”才不是“整理好发船”,真实意思超强硬不少小伙伴看到 “shape up or ship out” 这个表达可能会困惑,“shape” 是形状,“up” 是向上,“ship out” 好像是“用船运出去”,字面直译有点像“整理好、发船离开”,听起来和“工作态度”有什么关系?先来听一下它的英文解释:If you tell someone to shape up or ship out, you are telling them to improve their behavior or performance, or leave.意思是:如果你叫某人 shape up or ship out,就是在告诉他:要么改进表现、端正行为,要么就离开。这个说法通常被认为源自美国军队,尤其是海军或新兵训练营。教官对士兵下最后通牒:你要么遵守纪律、改善表现,也就是 shape up;要么就被调走或开除,也就是 ship out。后来这个表达进入职场和日常生活,用来表示“不好好干就走人”的强硬态度。“shape up or ship out” 翻译成中文可以是:不好好表现就卷铺盖走人;要么振作起来,要么离开。例句:The manager made it clear: shape up or ship out.经理说得很明白:要么好好表现,要么走人。The coach told the players to shape up or ship out before the next game.教练告诉球员们,下场比赛前要么好好表现,要么离开球队。原声再现She or he might add a threat by saying shape up or ship out.她或他可能会带上威胁,说“要么好好表现,要么走人”。And you need to shape up or ship out.你需要整顿或离开。更多卡卡老师分享公众号:卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信:kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包,帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路
