  CN人才网小编为大家整理分享了下面的办公室英语美中不足口语,一起来看看吧。

  核心句型:

  The high cost seems to be a fly in the ointment美中不足的是成本过高。

  a fly in the ointment 字面意思是:“软骨里的苍蝇”,这个习语出自《圣经·传道书》,“死苍蝇会让香甜的软骨变质,同样,一件小小的蠢事也会令智慧失色。”现在,人们用这个习语来表示:“美中不足之处,煞风景的事情,令人扫兴的小事”。因此,当美国人说"The high cost seems to be a fly in the ointment."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"I'm only unsatisfied with the high cost."、"It's perfect except the cost."。

  情景对白:

  Boss: I have seen your plan. It is great. Nevertheless, the high cost seems to be a fly in the ointment.

  老板:我看过你的方案了,非常好。但美中不足的是成本过高。

  Terry: I will see if I can cut down any unneccessary expense.

  泰瑞:我看看还能不能削减任何不必要的费用。

  搭配句积累:

  ①Do you have any other good idea?

  还有什么其他的好点子吗?

  ②You'd better think out ways to cut the cost.

  你最好想办法减少成本。

  ③But what matters is the final profit not the cost now.

  但是重点是最终利润而不是眼前的成本。

  ④Whatever we plant now, we will harvest later.

  我们现在的付出将来会得到回报的。
