42.Paper Shredder

A CEO standing in front of a paper shredder asked a young executive for help.

He said, "This is a very sensitive and importjuit document! Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young man. He turned the machine on, pressed the button and the paper went inside.

The CEO said,"Excellent, excellent, I just need one copy."

Notes:

1.A CEO standing in front of a paper shredder asked a young executive for help.

一个总裁站在碎纸机前,要求一个年轻的行政人员帮忙。

executive [ɪgˈzekjətɪv] adj.行政的 n.行政人员

in front of 在…前面

shredder [ˈʃredə(r)] n.碎纸机

2.He said, "This is a very sensitive and importjuit document! "

他说:“这是一份非常机密而且重要的文件!”

"sensitive"除了表示“敏感的”之外,在用于形容文件或工作职务时,也可以表示“机密的”。

sensitive [ˈsensətɪv] adj.机密的

document [ˈdɒkjumənt] n. 文件

3.Can you make this thing work?

你能让这玩意儿运轸呜?

"make"在这里表示“劝使.迫使”,常见的用法为:make + 人或物+动词原形,如:She made him leave.她让他离幵。但若是使用被动语态,动词后面必须用不定式,如:He was made to leave by her.他被她要求离开。

4."Certainly," said the young man.

Certainly在这里可以用Of course(当然)或Sure(当然) 取代,这三个说法均可用于答应别人的要求。此外,"Sure." 也可用于回答"Thank you."(谢谢。),表轻微的“不客气”的意思。

certainly [ˈsɜ:tnli] adv.当然;没问題
