职场美语

Oh, Helen,I haven't seen you for so long. What brings you here today?

哦，海伦，很久没有见到你了。你来这儿干什么呢？

I was just doing some shopping around the corner.

我正在这附近逛街呢。

Teresa, is that you?I can't believe it. What brings you here today? I I thought you，re in Africa.

重点讲解:

What are you doing here?

What brings you here today?

我们通常用What are you doing here?来表示“你来此干嘛？ ”但这句话听起来不是很有礼貌。其实，老外还有一种我们听起来很有趣的表达：What brings you here today?就像我们常说的“什么风把您给吹来了？”这种说法很形象吧?
