下面是CN人才网小编提供的办公室英语不讲信誉口语,欢迎阅读、
核心句型:
The staff are sick of succession of fly-by-night leaders.职员们对一连串不讲信誉的领导深恶痛绝。
fly-by-night 直译过来就是:“趁着黑夜逃走”,19世纪早期,fly by night 被用来形容“赖账的房客”。因为没钱付房租,他们只好半夜偷偷逃走,fly 在这里表示“逃离,逃跑”。这个短语的正确意思是:“不可靠的,失去信誉的”。因此,当美国人说"The staff are sick of a succession of fly-by-night leaders."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"The staff hate those leaders who have lost reputation."、"The staff are fed up with leaders who have lost their credibility."。

The overall size of the Wanghong economy is growing as cyber stars are going beyond the fashion industry and into online gaming, travel and baby products, according to a report.
近日一份报告指出,网络红人们不仅进军时尚业,也正向网络游戏、旅游、母婴产品等行业发展,网红经济的整体规模正在不断扩大。
“网红经济”(Wanghong economy/Internet celebrity economy)是以“网红”为形象代表,在社交媒体(social media)聚集人气,依托庞大粉丝群体进行定向营销,将粉丝转化为购买力的现象。与粉丝经济(fan economy)存在一定相似的地方。
2015年12月,《咬文嚼字》杂志发布2015年度“十大流行语”,网红排第九,其解释是:“网红”(Wanghong, Internet celebrity)即“网络红人”,指被网民追捧而走红的人。
网红们通过在社交媒体上分享自己的生活方式(share their lifestyle)赢得大量粉丝,成为红人,他们每天需要花大量时间与粉丝进行互动(interacting with followers)。成名之后,他们不仅获得利润丰厚的产品代言(clinch lucrative product endorsements),还依托自己的名气建立了新型独有的吸金方式(ride their fame to establish a new type of money-spinning businesses of their own)。有的设计自己的品牌,开了淘宝店(online store on Taobao),进军时尚业,有的则进军旅游、网络游戏、母婴产品等行业,甚至成立了工作室。不过,并不是所有网红都可以轻易获取巨大的经济效益(economic benefits)。
这些网红跟明星们不同,他们更贴近草根(more linked to grassroots),也更能迎合年轻网民的口味(meet the tastes of young netizens)。
