轻松日记商务职场篇第193期:麻烦

核心句型：
I'm sorry to hit you with this problem.

很抱歉把这个问题抛给你。

hit 在俚语中有“骚扰、麻烦”的意思，所以hit you with this problem的意思是说：“这件事麻烦你了”。因此，当美国人说"I'm sorry to hit you with this problem."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"I'm sorry to leave you with this problem."、"I'm sorry to bother you with this problem."。

情景对白：
Jane: How is the project going, Shirley? I'm sorry to hit you with this problem.

简：雪莉，那个项目进行得怎么样了?很抱歉把这个问题抛给你。

Shirley: You can count on it. I'll keep my eyes on it.

雪莉：放心吧，我会跟进的。
