36.CEO

Tom told his friend, "My brother has a job with ten thousand people under him."
His friend replied, "Wow! He must be the CEO of a corporation."
Tom said, "No,he cuts the grass in a cemetery."


Notes:

1. Tom told his friend, "My brother has a job with ten thousand people under him."

汤姆告诉他的明友:“我兄弟的手下有一万人。”

"under"在这里可以指“在…的下面”,也可以指“在某人的监督、掌控之下做…”例如,美国知名系列剧《六尺风云》 (Six Feet Under),探讨的是关于死亡的问题;如果我们说 "Someone is six feel under.",则表不“某人已经死去。”

因为美国人会将棺材埋在六尺深的地下。

2. His friend replied, "Wow! He must be the CEO of a corporation."

他的朋友回答:“哇!他一定是公司的总裁。”

CEO 总裁(chicf executive officcr 的缩写)

corporation [ˌkɔ:pəˈreɪʃn]n.公司

3. Tom said, "No,he cuts the grass in a cemetery."

汤姆说:“不是,他帮公墓的草坪除草。”

cemetery [ˈsemətri]n.公墓
