轻松日记商务职场篇第96期:请耐心等待
核心句型：
Sit tight, please.
请耐心等待。
sit tight这个说法是来自扑克牌游戏，有的时候，一个参加游戏的人本可以继续玩，但是他放弃叫牌的机会而选择观望的态度，形容“不采取任何行动，耐心等待、坚持主张、静待事态的发展”。现在我们常用这个习惯用语告诫人们：“不要着急，请耐心等待”。因此，当美国人说"Sit tight, please."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"Wait patiently, please."、"Hold your horses, please."。
情景对白：
Client: Excuse me. I'd like to see Mr. Smith, please. I made an appointment yesterday.
客户：打扰一下，我想见见史密斯先生，我昨天已经预约了。
Assistant: Just sit tight, please. He is having an important meeting and will come in about ten minutes.
助理：请耐心等一下，他在开一个重要会议，大概十分钟后过来。
搭配句积累：①Can I have a talk with your department manager?
我能和你们部门经理谈会儿话吗?
②When does your boss come to explain for it?
你们老板什么时候才能出来解释这一切?
③Excuse me, I'm here for a job interview.

④Stop pacing up and down. It is none of any help.
别再走来走去了，这样一点用也没有。
