Catherine太高兴了,上次面试的公司E通知她,她已经被录取了。她第一个把这件事告诉了Jenny,Jenny听说后,笑着对她说:"congratulations,it's a blank slate 1."Catherine很困惑,问她是什么意思,Jenny告诉她这是祝福她,这是一个新的一页,新的开始。下面是她们的对话:


C:Jenny,I have just recieved a call telling me that I am to be hired by E company.

J: Congratulations!It's a blank slate.

C: Do you mean that I know nothing about the job by saying it's a blank slate?

J: No,honey.It means you are going to have a new start.




小编的小喇叭】


It's a blank slate.新的一页,新的开始

blank是“空白的”,slate是“板岩,石板”

a blank slate本来是指“干净的黑板”,也就是未经书写的黑板,是崭新的。现在演变成“新的开始,新的一页”之意,是给予对方的鼓励,也是表达对于某事物前景的美好祝福。


 【情景剧】


Carl:The famous company that I interviewed with last week phoned me today and informed me to be on duty next monday.

卡尔:上个星期我参加面试的那个知名公司今天来电话了,通知我下周一正式上班。

Amanda: Really?Congratulations!It's a blank slate.

阿曼达:真的吗?恭喜你了,新的一页,新的开始
