輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第116期:不要輕視不如你的人

核心句型：
Never look down on people less superior to you.
不要輕視不如你的人。
look down on sb./sth. 直譯過來就是：“向下看某人或某物”，這個短語的正確意思是：“輕視某些人或事”。因此，當美國人說"Never look down on people less superior to you."時，他/要表達的意思就是:"Never despise those people who are inferior to you."、"Never look down on those who are not so outstanding as you."。
情景對白：
Benjamin: Jane, you should not look down on people less superior to you. Men are born equal! Your words may hurt that cleaner's self-esteem.
本傑明：簡，你不要輕視不如你的人。人人生而平等，你剛纔的話可能傷害到那位清潔工人的自尊心了。
Jane: I'm sorry. I, I'm just...a little angry at her carelessness.
簡：我也感到很抱歉。我，我只是對她的粗心大意感到有些生氣。
搭配句積累：
①Yes, I will keep it in my mind.
是的，我會記住的。
②You'd better mind your own business.
你最好少管閒事。
③It is none of your business. What makes you say that?
又不關你的事，你憑什麼這麼說？
④Maybe they would be stronger than you some day.
或許將來有一天，他們將會比你強。
