美国俚语：in the driver\'s seat 掌有控制权

时间：2013-04-12 07:04:06

（单词翻译:单击）

　　A: I should\'ve hired somebody else to do this. A good designer should always listen to the voice of her clients.

　　A: 我早该请别人来做这份差事的。一个好的设计师是应该都听从她的客户的意见的。

　　B:Honey,youcan\'t always be in the driver\'s seat. I\'m sure Lisa is a verygood designer. She knows what she\'s doing. Have some faith in her.

　　B: 甜心, 妳不能凡事都想自己作主。我确信 Lisa 是一个很好的设计师。她知道要怎么作。你要对她有信心点。

　　"in the driver\'s seat" 是一个蛮好玩的词语。当一个人坐在司机(开车的人)的座位上时, 是不是要把车开向左或向右都随他呢? 所以用"in the driver\'s seat " 来形容一个人对一件事掌有控制权实在是再恰当不过了, 不是吗?
