Dont put all your eggs in one basket Feifei:大家好,欢迎收听《地道英语》节目。我是冯菲菲,今天和我一起主持节目的是 Rob. Rob, what are you doing? Rob:(counting out money) Oh hi, Im just counting up all my money actually, could I borrow 100 please? Feifei: 100? Thats a lot of money. What do you need it for? Rob: Well, with all my savings plus your 100, Ill just have enough. Feifei: For what?! Rob: To invest in this new company my friend is setting up. Hes invented this machine where you can talk to people anywhere in the world and there are no wires or cables. Its going to be a huge success. Feifei: Rob, that sounds to me like a mobile phonethats already been invented. Rob: Yeah but you can also type messages on it and send them to other people. Amazing! If this is successful my investment is going to make me millions of pounds! Feifei: Rob 觉得投资他朋友的公司肯定能有很多钱赚。Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Rob: What? Im not investing in eggsthis is real moneyand what do you mean about one basket? I wasnt going to put the money in a basket! Feifei: Its a saying! Dont put all your eggs in one basket 的意思是不要把所有的钱都放在一个篮子里,也就是我们常说的不要孤注一掷。我觉得 Rob 不应该把钱全都投在一个生意里。 Rob, dont use all of your savings on this one ideait might fail. |
