标题:
办公室英语口语谬误:She is expecting.
She is expecting. 她怀孕了。
(王小姐和吉娜正看在公司圣诞派对时拍摄的照片。)
Jenny: Barb is doing so well. You know she is expecting in May.
芭比一切都很顺利,在五月。
Ms.Wang: What is she expecting?
她究竟在期待什么啊?
Jenny: She told me that she decided not to have it tested. Only God knows.
她说不去检验这个项目,这大概只有天知道吧!
(王小姐被弄得更糊涂了!)
【Note】
王小姐不知道“expecting”也有“怀孕”的意思。吉妮也没有发现这一点,以为王小姐说“在期待什么”是在问“是男孩还是女孩”。“test”是指判断婴儿性别的产检。
