 　　核心句型：

　　You know those bigwigs are really hard to please.
　　你要知道，那些大人物真的很难伺候。
　　bigwig的意思是：“大人物、权贵之人”。在很早以前，人们有一种习俗，戴着假发来遮掩乱糟糟的头发。在英国，假发根据不同社会阶级和职业而有所区别，那些重要人物的假发往往比一般人的要大得多，所以后人就用“大假发”来形容“大人物”了。因此，当美国人说"You know those bigwigs are really hard to please."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You know those big shots are hard to please."、"You know it's hard to serve those VIPs."。
　　情景对白：
　　Shirley: Why should I be left holding the baby? You know those bigwigs are really hard to please.
　　雪莉：为什么把这个苦差事留给我干？你要知道那些大人物真的很难伺候。
　　Jane: Oh, come on! They're VIPs of our company. We all want to know them. You're so lucky!
　　简：噢，别抱怨啦！他们可是我们公司的贵宾啊。我们都想认识他们。你太幸运了！
　　搭配句积累：
　　①How is your work today?
　　今天工作怎么样？
　　②I really admire at your fortune to serve them.
　　真羡慕你这么幸运，可以接待他们。
　　③You look so exhausted1. What's the matter?
　　你看起来精疲力竭，怎么了？
　　④I was suddenly scrambled3 when they were getting impatient.
　　他们开始不耐烦了，我顿时手忙脚乱。
　　单词：
　　scramble2 vt. 仓促完成，手忙脚乱
