Tom told his friend, "My brother has a job with ten thousand people under him."

Tom said, "No,he cuts the grass in a cemetery."


 


 


Notes 1:


 


1. Tom told his friend, "My brother has a job with ten thousand people under him."


 


汤姆告诉他的明友:“我兄弟的手下有一万人。”


 


"under"在这里可以指“在…的下面”,也可以指“在某人的监督、掌控之下做…”例如,美国知名系列剧《六尺风云》 (Six Feet Under),探讨的是关于死亡的问题;如果我们说 "Someone is six feel under.",则表不“某人已经死去。”


 


因为美国人会将棺材埋在六尺深的地下。


 


2. His friend replied, "Wow! He must be the CEO of a corporation."


 


他的朋友回答:“哇!他一定是公司的总裁。”


 


CEO 总裁(chicf executive officcr 的缩写)


 


corporation [ˌkɔ:pəˈreɪʃn]n.公司


 


3. Tom said, "No,he cuts the grass in a cemetery."


 


汤姆说:“不是,他帮公墓的草坪除草。”


 


cemetery [ˈsemətri]n.公墓
