Usually
通常
This is a trigger word in email that makes it obvious to everyone that you don't have all the facts. If you say the accounting department "usually" doesn't approve your expense report or the boss is "usually" late to work, it means you're stretching the truth.
这个词在邮件中会让每个人认为你没有掌握所有实际情况。若果你说财务部门’通常‘不会通过你的支出报告或者老板’通常上班迟到,这说明你在夸大事实。
This is usually the way we do it.
我们通常都是这样做的。
I usually work better solo.
我通常喜欢单干。
Usually is a status quo-type of word that accepts things as they are. Things are just that way, end of story. It’s a word that closes the door to finding newer, better ways of doing things. It’s sometimes used to justify laziness. Instead, think of alternatives, options, and new things. Be willing to think and say “We can try another way” or “I will take a chance working with this team,” and get ready to be surprised by your adaptability and other new discoveries. As new things become usual to you, your experience and expertise grows. And so does your confidence.
Usually是保守派的口头禅,它不仅能抹杀掉各种美好的可能,还可以为自己的懒惰找到合理的借口。别再躲避生活中的变化啦!你可以说:“We can try another way.(我们可以试试另一种方法。)” 或者“ I will take a chance working with this team.(我想试试和这个团队一起合作。)” 之后,你就等着被自己强大的适应力和各种的新发现惊呆吧!
