Morning English 046 20190306
Good morning, everyone! It's time for morning English.
今天的英文分享是“jump ship”,字面意思是“跳船”,这个短语源自航海,旧时的海员需要和自己所在的船同生共死,即使船就要沉入海底也不能弃船而逃。现在,“jump ship”用来指“一个人在其所处团队、公司等遇到困难时,辞职或离开原本的职位,甚至是换到与前东家有竞争关系的组织中去”。
例句
1. When I found out that the company was losing money, I jumped ship and found a new job.当我发现那家公司正在赔钱时我就辞职不干了,去找了一份新工作。
2. After losing four matches in a row, several of the players jumped ship and joined other teams.在连输四场比赛后,好几名队员离开去了其它球队。
大家学会了吗?
Thank you! Bye for now!
