美国习惯用语-第300讲:和deal有关的习语
<p>我们今天要学的习惯用语都以<span word="deal">deal</span>这个词为中心。<span word="Deal">Deal</span>作名词的时候意思是买卖、交易或者协议。我们要学的第一个习惯用语是：<span word="cut">cut</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="deal">deal</span>。<span word="Cut">Cut</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="deal">deal</span>意思是达成决定性的协议。接下来我们先要听一个例子。这是一名记者在报导一家美国航空公司和竞争对手一家外国航空公司达成协议合营的事情。这个合营的决定似乎对双方都有利。</p><p>例句1：<span word="After">After</span> <span word="six">six</span> <span word="months">months</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="negotiations">negotiations</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="airlines">airlines</span> <span word="announced">announced</span> <span word="today">today</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="cut">cut</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="deal">deal</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="share">share</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="domestic">domestic</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="international">international</span> <span word="routes">routes</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="increase">increase</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="traffic">traffic</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="Europe">Europe</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="Asia">Asia</span>. 两家航空公司经过六个月的谈判今天终于宣布他们已经达成最后协议合营他们的国内和国际航线。这样就增加了他们往欧洲和亚洲的运输业务。</p><p>这个例子里的<span word="cut">cut</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="deal">deal</span>意思就是最后达成决定性的协议。</p><p>刚才说过名词<span word="deal">deal</span>可以解释协议或者交易，但是它也可以解释待遇，例如在我们马上要学的习惯用语里就这样解释。有一种待遇是人人避而远之的。那就是：<span word="raw">raw</span> <span word="deal">deal</span>。为什么谁都不愿意得到<span word="raw">raw</span> <span word="deal">deal</span>? 我们来听一个例子你就知道了。</p><p>例句2：<span word="Old">Old</span> <span word="Mr">Mr</span>. <span word="Green">Green</span> <span word="sure">sure</span> <span word="got">got</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="raw">raw</span> <span word="deal">deal</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="company">company</span> <span word="where">where</span> <span word="hed">hed</span> <span word="worked">worked</span> <span word="for">for</span> 30 <span word="years">years</span>. <span word="When">When</span> <span word="times">times</span> <span word="got">got</span> <span word="hard">hard</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="cut">cut</span> <span word="staff">staff</span>, <span word="they">they</span> <span word="fired">fired</span> <span word="him">him</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="weeks">weeks</span> <span word="notice">notice</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="weeks">weeks</span> <span word="pay">pay</span>. 他们在不景气而不得不裁员的时候，一点都不顾念他三十年来的汗马功劳，拿他开刀，毫不容情地解雇了他，只提前两星期通知了他，而且仅仅付给他两星期的工资。</p>
