輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第163期:棒極了
Your suggestion is out of this world.
你的提議真是棒極了。
out of this world是一個(gè)習(xí)慣用語，直譯過來就是：“在這個(gè)世界以外”，而它正確的意思是：“令人激動(dòng)，精彩極了，棒極了，絕妙的”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"Your suggestion is out of this world."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Your suggestion is wonderful."、"You provide us with a piece of marvelous advice."。
情景對(duì)白：
Benjamin: Maybe we can set up an exhibition to display our products and hold a lucky drawing activity with our products as the prizes.
本杰明：或許我們可以舉辦展覽會(huì)來展示產(chǎn)品，并舉行抽獎(jiǎng)活動(dòng)，以公司產(chǎn)品作為獎(jiǎng)品。
Boss: Ah, your suggestion is out of this world.
老板：啊，你的提議真是太棒了。

①To raise the added value of our product is the best way to keep our competitiveness.
提高產(chǎn)品附加值是我們維持產(chǎn)品競爭力的最好辦法。
②We should link our product with wisdom and elegance.
我們應(yīng)該將產(chǎn)品同智慧與典雅聯(lián)系在一起。
③Why don't we conduct a charity drive and donate our products to the distressed areas?
為什么我們不舉辦一個(gè)慈善活動(dòng)，并將我們的產(chǎn)品捐贈(zèng)給貧困地區(qū)呢?
④We can highlight the feature of saving energy and reducing pollution while publicizing our new product.
我們可以把新產(chǎn)品的宣傳重點(diǎn)放在節(jié)能減排上面。
