輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第170期:正合我意
It is a kick.
這正合我意。
kick在這里是名詞，是“刺激、快感、樂趣”的意思。所以It is a kick的正確意思是：“這正合我意”。因此，當(dāng)美國人說"It is a kick."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"That's exactly what I'm thinking about."、"It is music to my ears."、"You read my mind."。
情景對白：
Benjamin: Maybe we can distribute our new products to customers for free and collect their feedback.
本杰明：或許我們可以向客戶免費發(fā)放新產(chǎn)品，然后收集反饋信息。
Boss: Oh! It is a kick. Just do it!
老板：哦!這正合我意。就這么辦吧!
