轻松日记商务职场篇第128期:看法不一致

核心句型：
I don't see eye to eye with you on this issue.

在这个问题上，我不同意你的看法。

see eye to eye字面意思有点像汉语中的男女双方对上眼了，喜欢上对方了。但是在英语中可不是这个意思，这个俚语表示的是：“意见一致，看法相同”。因此，当美国人说"I don't see eye to eye with you on this issue."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"I don't agree with you on this issue."、"I have a different opinion with you on this issue."。

情景对白：
Shirley: I think proper personnel transfer is good for the operation of the company.

雪莉：我认为适当的人事调动有利于公司运作。

Jane: Well, I don't see eye to eye with you on this issue.

简：呃，在这个问题上，我不同意你的看法。
