repairman:someone whose job is to repair things 修理工； 'She was riding an elevator with a cable repairman.' （她当时跟一个有线电视修理工同乘一个电梯）----美剧《灵书妙探》，所以什么的修理工就可以直接在修理工前面加个相关词就行了。 pass the buck: to make someone else responsible for something that you should deal with 推诿责任； good call: standard reply to something agreeable or satisfactory; 好主意；说得好 ；（对同意或满意的某事的标准回答）；这里的剧情是员工感冒了一直在打喷嚏，影响他们谈话，他自己就说我还是回家养着吧，女下属就说good call， 好主意，表示就应该这样。 preach:to give someone advice, especially about their behaviour, in a way that they think is boring or annoying 唠叨地劝诫，令人烦厌地说教； 这里女下属说 I don't want to preach 字面意思是我不想唠叨说教，其实倾向于表达我在这劝你并不是说教，而是你应该好好考虑一下不要再硬撑来证明自己。看过很多美剧，遇过很多类似表达的人可能会意会。 come first: 名列第一；最早来；首先要考虑到的，这里的剧情取的是首先要考虑到的意思； 'You and your sister will come first, always.' （你和你的妹妹永远都是第一位的（最重要的））----美剧《绝命毒师》 跟别人说情话的时候就可以说You always come first 你永远是第一位的。 concerned:worried about something 焦急的，担忧的；这个词之前也说过； 'When you are frightened or concerned, your heart is in your month.' （当你害怕或担心时，你的心就提到嗓子眼）---VOA That's all for today October 23, 2017.
