輕松日記商務職場篇 第69期:老板大開綠燈

核心句型：
He likes my idea and gives me the green light to goahead.
他支持我的建議，讓我按計劃去辦。
green light字面意思是：“綠燈”，在全世界各地，綠顏色的交通信號燈都是可以通行的意思。所以，日常生活中，人們也經(jīng)常用開綠燈這個說法表示某個計劃獲得批準，可以進行。這個習慣用語的意思因而就不言而喻了，表示：“開綠燈，計劃獲得批準”。因此，當美國人說"He likes my ideaand give me the green light to go ahead."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"He agrees with my idea and allow meto do it."、"He is in favor of my suggestion and let me carry it out."。
情景對白：

Shirley: Absolutely. He likes my idea and gives me the green light to go ahead.
