1 out-compete 在竞争中取胜
例子:
You'll understand why these companies are so disruptive and how they use data-analytics techniques to out-compete traditional companies.
你会明白为什么这些公司如此具有颠覆性,以及他们如何利用数据分析技术来超越传统公司。
翻译成“在竞争中胜过XX”也完全没问题~
(注:我也看到过“outcompete”不带连字符的写法)
2 meet-cute
例子:
It was really a meet-cute.
那是一个美丽的邂逅/美好的相遇。
(想到孙燕姿的《遇见》~)
这两个例子又是用非常简单的词表达准确的意思,用起来非常地道。
3 “原生家庭”怎么说?
是的,就是family of origin。
例子:
These measures are designed to restore and strengthen links with the family of origin.
这些措施是为了恢复和加强与原生家庭的联系。
顺便夯实一下restore,strengthen(注意拼写)这两个词~
4 soonicorn是个啥?
我们可能听说过在创投圈经常使用的一个词叫:unicorn - 独角兽。
独角兽公司就是估值达到10亿美元及以上的创业公司(未上市)。
A "unicorn" is a privately-owned startup business worth more than $1 billion.
那么soonicorn的意思就是:
a "soon-to-be-unicorn": a recently launched business that has the potential to become a "unicorn".
成立时间不长,冉冉升起的创业公司,估值就冲着10亿美金去了--马上要成为独角兽了,非常有前途啦。
5 walk 还可以这么用?
例子:
我喜欢和各行各业的人们交流。
I love talking to people from different walks of life.
如果想啰嗦一点,可以说I love talking to people from different walks of life and different industries and professions and skills. (不同行业,不同专业/职业,不同技能)
还是那句话:每天就5条,不贪多,相信积累的力量!
