【情景再现】


Tom和一位美国同事将要代表公司去参加一场商务谈判,是否能像预想的那样拿下这个项目大家谁都不知道,他们尽全力,做好了准备工作,制定了一套方案,可是谈判前半小时的时候,Tom突然说他想到了更好的方案,要求修改原来的方案。美国同事不耐烦地说:Don't rock the boat! Things are fine just the way they are.


Don't rock the boat. 别找麻烦了。


rock作动词时,意为“摇晃”,所以rock the boat字面意思就是“把船摇晃”,实际意思就是“惹是生非”。因为船走着好好的,而你却偏要把船晃得东倒西歪,弄不好还会连人带船一起喂鱼去,这不是自找麻烦又是什么?所以rock the boat往往引申为“兴风作浪,使事情不能顺利进行,破坏良好的现状,捣乱”。


【英语情景剧】

本杰明:我发现你的方案不是最佳的,我们最好换另一种方案吧。


Todd: Don't rock the boat! We have no time! Things are just fine as they are.

托德:别找麻烦了!我们没时间了。事情就这样就好了。
