輕松日記商務職場篇第128期:看法不一致

核心句型：
I don't see eye to eye with you on this issue.

在這個問題上，我不同意你的看法。

see eye to eye字面意思有點像漢語中的男女雙方對上眼了，喜歡上對方了。但是在英語中可不是這個意思，這個俚語表示的是：“意見一致，看法相同”。因此，當美國人說"I don't see eye to eye with you on this issue."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"I don't agree with you on this issue."、"I have a different opinion with you on this issue."。

情景對白：
Shirley: I think proper personnel transfer is good for the operation of the company.

雪莉：我認為適當?shù)娜耸抡{(diào)動有利于公司運作。

Jane: Well, I don't see eye to eye with you on this issue.

簡：呃，在這個問題上，我不同意你的看法。
