  • 成語 Idioms
  • talk shop 談論工作上的事
    shop 是「商店」的意思,在這裡引申指「工作場所」,因此 talk shop 便是「談論和工作有關的事」的意思。這個成語通常帶有貶義,暗示這些關於工作的言談讓人覺得很無聊。
      The people in that company always talk shop, even on the weekends.
        那間公司的人總是在談工作上的事,就連在週末也不例外。

    Meg and Jim are shopping at their favorite department store.
    梅格和吉姆在他們最愛逛的百貨公司裡購物。
    Jim: Well, the annual sale has finally arrived. 吉姆: 嘿,週年慶終於到了。
    Meg: There are so many things that I want to buy, and everything in the store is 50 percent off! 梅格: 我想要買好多東西呢,而且店裡每樣商品都打五折喔!
    Jim: I read in the newspaper this morning that gift wrapping is free for all purchases. I am going to do a little Christmas shopping. 吉姆: 我今天早上看報紙說購物禮品包裝完全免費,我要去買些聖誕禮物。
    Meg: Look, Jim--over there on that mannequin! That suit would look fabulous on you! 梅格: 吉姆,你看那邊的假人模特兒!你穿那套西裝看起來會很帥喔!
    Jim: I don't need another suit; I already have plenty. But I do need some new dress shirts. 吉姆: 我不需要新的西裝;我已經有很多套了。不過我倒需要幾件新襯衫。
    Meg: OK, you stay here in the menswear department and look for the shirts. I'm going to the women's footwear department. 梅格: 好啊,那你留在男裝部這裡找襯衫,我要去女鞋部。
    Jim: Sounds good. There's a food court in the basement. Let's meet there at noon for lunch. 吉姆: 好主意。地下樓有美食廣場,我們中午在那裡碰面吃午飯。
    Meg: It's a deal. Call me on my cell phone if you need anything. I'll see you then! 梅格: 那就這麼說定了。有什麼需要的話,就打我的手機,到時候見!
    Dialogue 2 
    Eve is a supervisor at a department store. George is a new salesclerk.
    伊芙是一家百貨公司的主管,喬治是菜鳥店員。
    George: I'm a little nervous about the upcoming annual sale. There will be so many customers here. 喬治: 週年慶要到了,我有點緊張,到時候店裡會有非常多的客人。
    Eve: Don't worry, George. I'm sure you'll do well. Would you like me to give you a couple of tips on how to provide good customer service? 伊芙: 喬治,別擔心,我相信你會有好表現的。你需要我告訴你一些提供完善客服的祕訣嗎?
    George: That would be great. 喬治: 當然好啊。
    Eve: OK. First, make sure that all of the displays are well organized and clean. Also make sure that the clothes on the mannequins look good. 伊芙: 好,首先,要確認所有展示的商品都陳列整齊且乾淨,還有套在假人模特兒上的衣服要好看。
    George: Um, I haven't learned how to properly display some of the items yet. 喬治: 呃,有些東西我還沒學會要怎麼擺。
    Eve: Then you should have another more-experienced salesclerk help you. Also, spend time before the store opens walking around and memorizing where everything is. 伊芙: 那你應該要請其他比較有經驗的員工幫忙,還有在開店前要花點時間到處走走看看,記住東西擺放的位置。
    George: That is really important. It is embarrassing when customers ask you where something is and you don't know. 喬治: 那真的很重要。如果客人問某樣東西在哪裡而你卻不知道,那就糗大了。
    Eve: Exactly. We have to know where our things are if we want the customers to buy them. 伊芙: 一點也沒錯。要讓顧客花錢買我們的東西,我們就得知道東西放哪兒。
