七旬实习生见老板:gave me the drill

七十岁的实习生刚进办公室,就被人问「你怎么会是实习生」。进老板办公室前,有人提醒他说话要快,还叮嘱他别忘了眨眼。见到老板,对方先提 gave me the drill(把流程交代给某人),再直说没多少活给他,还说他去创意或市场部会 better off(更适合;处境会更好)。

发生了什么

七十岁的实习生按预约到公司,有人先问他怎么会是实习生,等他见到老板,老板先提 gave me the drill(把流程交代给某人),说卡梅伦已经把该讲的讲过,然后坦白自己没多少活交给他,接着建议他转去创意或市场部,说那样他会 better off(更适合;处境会更好),甚至表示可以帮他调岗。实习生没有接受,表示想了解这一行、能帮就帮。对方于是说 looks like you're stuck with me(只能将就和某人共事),把不太好接的谈话收住。职场里想委婉劝退、表达将就共事,这几句都能直接用。

关于这一章的问题

gave me the drill 是什么意思?

意思是「把流程交代给某人」。台词里说有人先把流程交代过了,所以接下来可以直接说实话。

「只能将就和某人共事」英语怎么说?

可以说 stuck with me,台词里是 looks like you're stuck with me,语气带点自嘲,表示你只能将就着跟我共事了。

weirds her out 在这里怎么理解?

就是「让某人觉得别扭」。台词里说 It weirds her out,就是指不眨眼这种小动作让对方不舒服。

better off 是「更好」的意思吗?

这里更接近「更适合;处境会更好」。台词里是建议去创意或市场部,认为那对实习生更合适。

get used to me 是「你会习惯我的」吗?

是。台词用这句话收尾,意思是相处久了就会习惯这个人;适合在别人还不习惯你时轻松回应。
