七旬實習生見老闆:gave me the drill

七十歲的實習生剛進辦公室,就被人問「你怎麼會是實習生」。進老闆辦公室前,有人提醒他說話要快,還叮囑他別忘了眨眼。見到老闆,對方先提 gave me the drill(把流程交代給某人),再直說沒多少活給他,還說他去創意或市場部會 better off(更適合;處境會更好)。

發生了什麼

七十歲的實習生按預約到公司,有人先問他怎麼會是實習生,等他見到老闆,老闆先提 gave me the drill(把流程交代給某人),說卡梅倫已經把該講的講過,然後坦白自己沒多少活交給他,接著建議他轉去創意或市場部,說那樣他會 better off(更適合;處境會更好),甚至表示可以幫他調崗。實習生沒有接受,表示想了解這一行、能幫就幫。對方於是說 looks like you're stuck with me(只能將就和某人共事),把不太好接的談話收住。職場裡想委婉勸退、表達將就共事,這幾句都能直接用。

關於這一章的問題

gave me the drill 是什麼意思?

意思是「把流程交代給某人」。臺詞裡說有人先把流程交代過了,所以接下來可以直接說實話。

「只能將就和某人共事」英語怎麼說?

可以說 stuck with me,臺詞裡是 looks like you're stuck with me,語氣帶點自嘲,表示你只能將就著跟我共事了。

weirds her out 在這裡怎麼理解?

就是「讓某人覺得彆扭」。臺詞裡說 It weirds her out,就是指不眨眼這種小動作讓對方不舒服。

better off 是「更好」的意思嗎?

這裡更接近「更適合;處境會更好」。臺詞裡是建議去創意或市場部,認為那對實習生更合適。

get used to me 是「你會習慣我的」嗎?

是。臺詞用這句話收尾,意思是相處久了就會習慣這個人;適合在別人還不習慣你時輕鬆回應。
