职场英语：“造假帐”怎么说
<p>“<span word="Cookbook">Cookbook</span>”什么意思?您一定会做不屑状。“食谱”嘛!谁都知道的!那“<span word="Cook">Cook</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="books">books</span>”呢?犯难了吧?千万别搞错!<span word="Cook">Cook</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="books">books</span>与“食谱”没有半点联系，它指的是“造假帐;篡改财务报表”。</p><p>现代意义上的“<span word="cook">cook</span>”(烹饪)最早可追溯到14世纪，源于拉丁词汇<span word="coquus">coquus</span>(由它衍生出<span word="concoct">concoct</span>，意思是“编造;炮制”)。到了17世纪，<span word="cook">cook</span>在俚语中指“篡改、作假”，语言学家认为，这层含义与烹饪意义上的“精心准备”是分不开的。此外，<span word="cook">cook</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="books">books</span>也可写做“<span word="cook">cook</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="accounts">accounts</span>”。如：<span word="The">The</span> <span word="accountant">accountant</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="sacked">sacked</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="cooking">cooking</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="books">books</span>/<span word="accounts">accounts</span>.(会计师因做假帐而被解雇了。)</p><p>也许，<span word="cook">cook</span>(烹饪)是人们生活中的重中之重，所以在“烹饪”的基础上，<span word="cook">cook</span>拥有了很多俚语意：<span word="The">The</span> <span word="band">band</span> <span word="really">really</span> <span word="got">got</span> <span word="cooking">cooking</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="midnight">midnight</span>(乐团在午夜以后的演奏棒极了);<span word="What">What</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="cooking">cooking</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="town">town</span>(城里发生了什么事)。</p>
