Okay. New girl's up. Kayla.Bombshell · 2019 — 第 2 / 12 章 · 2'16" · C1
新人刚被叫进办公室,还没站稳就被冷脸压住,连“不许哭”都成了规矩。随后有人把那个爱发火的电台主持人称作 perpetual outrage machine(永远发怒的人),还教她做新闻要 frighten, titillate(先吓人,再撩拨)。想听懂职场冷嘲和媒体黑话,这两句够用。
凯拉被叫去面试,刚开口谈自己早上听来的电台评论,场面里紧跟着一句 Is she the best you can do?(你就只能找到这种货色?)。随后有人安慰她不会被开除,接着有人把那个爱发火的电台主持人称作 perpetual outrage machine(永远发怒的人)。有人教她做新闻要 frighten, titillate(先吓人,再撩拨)。找不到消息源,就写 Some are saying(有人说);一上来要有一个 clear villain(明确的反派)。这些说法把职场里的轻视、媒体操作和甩锅话术讲得很直白,面试、开会、吐槽新闻时都能碰到。
