中式英語之鑑:內幕

[誤] Having worked here for many years, she is one of those who know what goes on behind the scenes, and
is able to tell us a lot of things which are unknown to most people.
[正] Having worked here for many years, she is one of those who know the ropes, and is able to tell us a lot
of things which are unknown to most people.
注：“內幕”翻譯成 what goes on behind the scenes 固然沒錯，但 know the ropes 更簡潔。我們還可以用 know the inside stories 表示相同的意思。
