Catherine在公司内兢兢业业,勤勤恳恳的工作态度慢慢得到了老板的赏识。后来,老板把她升为了副经理,同事得知这一消息后,纷纷向她表示祝贺。其中一位美国同事说:Clean up your act! Catherine顿时沉下脸来,心想:”难道我有什么不得体的行为么?“于是问道:Pardon? Why? 同事大笑。

Clean up your act! 好好表现吧!


clean up有许多意思含义:”打扫,整理,清理,梳洗,打捞一笔“等。但是clean up your act!在此字面意思就是”清理你的行为!”可引申为“好好表现吧!洗心革面,重新做人。“如:You'd better clean up your act, if you want to go to a good school.(如果你想进好学校的话就要洗心革面,奋发图强。)


【英语情景剧】




Jane:Shirley, I am promoted to be the deputy editor-in-chief.

简:雪莉,我被升为副主编了。


Shirley:Congratulations! Clean up your act!

雪莉:祝贺你啊!好好表现吧!
