 口语:挂牌营业


今天一大早,正沉浸在甜甜的睡梦中呢,突然被电话铃吵醒了。刚拿起话筒,就听见好友阿P大叫:“啊!我的律所开张啦!我苦尽甘来啦!”
真不容易啊!苦苦奋斗了整整八个春秋!现在他终于“hang out their shingle 1(挂牌营业)”了! “Hang outone's shingle”是一句常用的美国口语,起源于19世纪。那时,如果某位专业人士(例如律师、医生)挂牌开业了,他就会在房檐或房子侧面悬挂一块薄木板作为招牌,木板上面漆着自家门户的标志。Shingle在口语中就是“小招牌、广告牌”的意思。 现在,“hang outone's shingle”不仅仅指律师或医生挂牌营业,它也可用来形容其它从业者挂牌开张,如:出租房屋,业务咨询,人才招聘。 看下面一个例句:After many years of training, she hung out her shingle, "Nilda Sanchez, animal doctor"(受训多年,她如今终于可以自立门户,并打出了“兽医:尼尔达·桑切斯”的招牌。)

n.木瓦板;小招牌(尤指医生或律师挂的营业招牌);v.用木瓦板盖(屋顶);把(女子头发)剪短
  • He scraped away the dirt,and exposed a pine shingle.他刨去泥土,下面露出一块松木瓦块。
  • He hung out his grandfather's shingle.他挂出了祖父的行医招牌。
