輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第46期:好好表現

核心句型：
You'd better shape up if you want to stay on.
如果你還想留下來的話，最好乖一點兒。
shape up直譯過來就是：“塑造好的形象”，這個短語的正確意思是：“好好表現，好好幹”。因此，當美國人說"You'd better shape up if you want to stay on."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"You must perform well if you want to keep this job."、"You have to behave yourself if you don't want to get fired."。
情景對白：
Terry: My boss always asks me to go on business. I can't bear it.
泰瑞：老闆總讓我出差。我受不了了！
Benjamin: Buddy, you'd better shape up if you want to stay on. Never fight against your boss.
本傑明：兄弟，如果你還想留下來的話，最好乖一點兒。永遠不要跟老闆做對。
