 口语:我说了算


包青天有尚方宝剑在手,连皇上求情都没用。案子怎么判,老包一人说了算。英语中表达某人“说了算”与升堂断案倒没关系,而是借用了海军中的词汇:“to have the conn”。 Conn本来是“掌舵”的意思,后来被当作名词用,“to have the conn”也就是负责控制舰艇行驶的方向。这里大家要问了,到底有多少个人在掌舵?难道不是一个吗?让我们来看看军舰的运作系统吧。 在军舰上,舵是由驾驶员控制的。如果他离开了驾驶室,就必须找人代替,而且替换的时候要有口头命令才行。就算是舰长来了,没有命令都不可以掌舵。船上人那么多,此时谁在掌舵还真说不准。所以就有了这样的话:Number 2 One, you have the conn. 工作中也是一样啊,说不定哪天你就被任命为小组长了呢!到那时,你就可以说:I have the conn.

2 number
n.数(字,量),号码,数(值)
  • Let me put down your telephone number.请让我记下你的电话号码。
  • What is this number?这个数字是什么?
