輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第193期:麻煩

核心句型：
I'm sorry to hit you with this problem.
很抱歉把這個問題拋給你。
hit 在俚語中有“騷擾、麻煩”的意思，所以hit you with this problem的意思是說：“這件事麻煩你了”。因此，當美國人說"I'm sorry to hit you with this problem."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"I'm sorry to leave you with this problem."、"I'm sorry to bother you with this problem."。
情景對白：
Jane: How is the project going, Shirley? I'm sorry to hit you with this problem.
