以下是CN人才网小编分享的职场英语口语词语学习，快来看看吧。
一
be supposed to 认为应该，必须;认为可以
此语用被动语态表示"被许多人相信",如：the castle is supposed to be haunted.(人们都说那座城堡闹鬼。)此语在口语中表示"认为可以做某事",如：none of us girls is supposed to smoke.(我们女孩子都不吸烟。)此语中的supposed是动词的过去式，supposed作为形容词，意指"假定的，被信以为真的，想象中的".
a: the train was supposed to get to beijing at eight o'clock. 火车该八点钟到北京。
b: eight o'clock? it's already eight-thirty. 八点?现在都八点半了。
a: what if he didn't see us? 要是他没看见我们怎么办?
b: he would take a taxi, i think. 他会打出租车的。
a: maybe the train is late. 不会是火车晚点了吧。
b: it is impossible. i have heard the broadcast. 不可能。我已听见广播了。
二
be too quick on the trigger 操之过急，行动过于仓促
trigger指枪的"扳机，触发器".该习语直译为"过早地扣动扳机",引申为"行动过于仓促，操之过急".
a: you shouldn't have had bob do that job. he is still a green hand. 你不该让鲍勃做那项工作，他毕竟还是一个新手。
b: but he needs to be given a chance. 但是他也需要机会呀!
a: you should not have been too quick on the trigger. 可你不该太性急呀!
三
bear down 加倍努力
该习语本身就有"竭尽全力、加紧努力"的意思。例如：you will bear down if you expect to pass the exam. (你要是指望考试及格的话，就得加一把劲。)
a: if we can't finish the work before deadline, we will be fined according to the contract. 如果我们不能在规定的期限内完成工作，根据合同，我们将会被罚款。
b: we are already bearing down to do the work. 我们已经在很努力地工作了。
