【情景再现】


Catherine和她的美国同事去参加商务谈判,他们按照公司要求认真地制定了一套方案,原以为谈判会很成功,可结果还是失利了。美国同事想了想,觉得问题可能出在方案上,便对Catherine说:There seems to be a bug 1 in our scheme.


There seems to be a bug in our scheme. 我们的方案似乎存在一些小问题。


bug本义是“臭虫”,同时也指细菌或传染性病毒。bug这个词带有使人或物出现异常,使之无法发挥正常作用的意味,所以其引申义即“瑕疵,缺陷,漏洞“。而在计算机领域,人们则把电脑内部出现的小故障成为bug。因此,如果说某事物存在一个bug,就意味着其中存在一些漏洞和缺陷。


【英语情景剧】

本杰明:我们与那家公司的谈判没有成功。好郁闷啊。


Todd: There seems to be a bug in our scheme. Come on! Don't lose heart!

托德:看来我们的方案存在一些小问题。加油!别灰心!
