輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第67期:得罪老闆 商務|職場|得罪老闆

核心句型：
He always gets in Dutch with the boss.
他經常得罪老闆。
get in Dutch with sb. 這個俚語來源於十七至十八世紀的“英荷之戰”，當時英國人對荷蘭人非常憎恨，他們在重創荷蘭人之餘，還在語言上得理不饒人，在許多場合都用Dutch一詞表示厭惡、輕蔑之意。這個俚語的意思就是：“得罪某人”。因此，當美國人說"He always gets in Dutch with the boss."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"He always causes offence to his boss."、"He often displeases his boss."。
