輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第228期:熱情得讓人受不了

核心句型：
She'd kill the client with kindness.
她那股熱情勁兒會讓客戶受不了的。
kill someone with kindness字面意思是：“用溫柔殺死某人”，這只是一種誇張說法，其真正含義爲：“熱情得讓人受不了”。打個比方，你去購物，本來只是想買件襯衣，可熱情有加的服務員不僅爲你拿來了襯衣，還幫你搭配領帶、外套、褲子、鞋子，稱讚你眼光獨到、品位極高。最後你全都買下來了，不禁感嘆被他們的熱情給殺死了。因此，當美國人說"She'd kill the client with kindness."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"She is too zealous to the client."、"She is too enthusiastic to the client."。
