look the part的意思:適任的英文


如果你要找工作,如果對方說You look the part,那表示你是他要的人啦!

這句話最近我看到是在「Sherlock: The Network新世紀福爾摩斯的遊戲」中

Sherlock: (Sniff) So...You want to be in the homeless network. Mmm...Clearly you look the part.

卷福說我們很適合啦~(可是...我不是homeless的耶...)



look the part




look the part

to look suitable for a particular situation If you want to get a job as a fashion buyer, it helps if you look the part.

Everyone have skeletons in the closet的意思:每個人都有不可告人的秘密的英文

在Fox News的一個interview聽到的,是在訪問一個女孩對一個人的看法,她提到
I don't know...Everyone have skeletons in the closet

我一聽:呃…衣櫃裡面有...骷顱頭...就去查了
第一次聽到,分享一下,意思是每個人都有不可告人的秘密,言下之意就是每個人都有難言之隱,說出來會很慘的事情就是了(所以不能說啊啊啊)

Secrets and several other past memories that you prefer not to talk about with anyone else. This can range from one-night stands to betraying a best friend to as much as killing someone. However, "skeletal" moments don't just have to do with only dark pasts. It can also be about embarrassing moments you've had that you simply feel too awful to speak of.
Someone with barely any or no skeletons in the closet can make it far in a large corporation. (沒有秘密的人很適合長期合作)

Being married has taught me that if I don't clean up the skeletons in the closet sooner than I should can have abrupt consequences. (結婚呢~就是彼此不要保留秘密,否則遲早會有危險的後果)
