职场英语口语:freshen up下午会议室里的谈话正好告一段落,也到了休息时间。
Tim请张先生享用咖啡及茶点。
Tim: They just brought in refreshments.
Please help yourself.

茶点已经准备好了,请用。
Mr.
Zhang: Thank you.

谢谢。
可是张先生想在吃茶点前先去厕所。
这时候Tim说到:Tim: Would you like to freshen up?
听到这话,张先生以为Tim再次请他去享用refreshments(茶点):Mr.
Zhang: Thank you, but before that I'd like to use the restroom.

谢谢,但是我想先去趟洗手间。
Tim: Of course.
This way.

哦,这边请。
Tim露出诧异的神遥一边说着,一边告诉张先生厕所的位置。
Tim为什么会诧异呢?
因为张先生把freshen up的含义给搞错了!
原来,Would you like to freshen up?
、Would you like to wash your hands?
与 Would you like to use the restroom?
是遥的意思,都是委婉地表示“你想不想上厕所?
”之意。
大家可要小心遥,不要弄错哦
