职场美语

Hey, boys, read my lips. NO-MORE-NEW-TOYS-TILL-YOU-CLEAN-YOUR-ROOM.

孩子们，给我仔细听好了，如果不把你们的房间打扫干净，以后就再也不给你们买新玩具了。

NOOOOOOO!

不！

No. You heard me, all right? Read my lips. Just go, all right? You have no right to be here.

不，你听到我说什么了，好鸣？给我仔细听好了！出去！你没有权利还在这儿。

Are you crazy? I，m your best friend!

你疯了吗?我是你最好的朋友!

重点讲解:

Listen to me.

Read my lips.

当你要跟他人宣布一件很重要的事情时，可以先说一声Listen.或是Look.来引起大伙的注意，但是如果你接下来要说的内容非常重要，这两个词的火力稍显不足，这时就是Read my lips.派上用场的时候了。Read my lips.字面上是指“读我的唇”，也就是“仔细听好了”的意思。
