輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇 第18期:面試出師不利
He gets off on the wrong foot by being late on theintervies.
他面試時遲到了，一開始就給人留下了不好的印象。
get off on the wrong foot 直譯過來就是“動身的時候邁錯了腳”，這個短語的真正意思是：“一開始就給人留下了不好的印象，出師不利”。因此當(dāng)美國人說"He gets off on thewrong foot by being late on the intervies."時，他要表達(dá)的意思就是："He leaves a bad impression by beinglate on the interview."、"He disappointes us at thefirst sight by being late on the interview"、"The firstimpression he gives us is poor, for he is late in the interview."。
