轻松日记商务职场篇第116期:不要轻视不如你的人

核心句型：
Never look down on people less superior to you.

不要轻视不如你的人。

look down on sb./sth. 直译过来就是：“向下看某人或某物”，这个短语的正确意思是：“轻视某些人或事”。因此，当美国人说"Never look down on people less superior to you."时，他/要表达的意思就是:"Never despise those people who are inferior to you."、"Never look down on those who are not so outstanding as you."。

情景对白：
Benjamin: Jane, you should not look down on people less superior to you. Men are born equal!Your words may hurt that cleaner's self-esteem.

本杰明：简，你不要轻视不如你的人。人人生而平等，你刚才的话可能伤害到那位清洁工人的自尊心了。

Jane: I'm sorry. I, I'm just...a little angry at her carelessness.

简：我也感到很抱歉。我，我只是对她的粗心大意感到有些生气。

搭配句积累：
①Yes, I will keep it in my mind.
