轻松日记商务职场篇 第69期:老板大开绿灯

核心句型：
He likes my idea and gives me the green light to goahead.
他支持我的建议，让我按计划去办。
green light字面意思是：“绿灯”，在全世界各地，绿颜色的交通信号灯都是可以通行的意思。所以，日常生活中，人们也经常用开绿灯这个说法表示某个计划获得批准，可以进行。这个习惯用语的意思因而就不言而喻了，表示：“开绿灯，计划获得批准”。因此，当美国人说"He likes my ideaand give me the green light to go ahead."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"He agrees with my idea and allow meto do it."、"He is in favor of my suggestion and let me carry it out."。
