口語每日一學(xué):Multitasking

字號:

Multitasking 沒注意
     A polite way of telling someone you haven't heard a word they said. Commonly used on long conference calls, when the speaker is monotonous, boring, or couldn't make a point of one were drawn for them. ... Joe: "Blah, blah corporate office blah, blah, leverage proactively blah, blah human capital and grade-A synergy, blah, blah. Do you agree, Jim?"
     Jim: "I'm sorry, Joe, I was multitasking, can you repeat that?"
     Note:
     Multitasking的意思是多任務(wù)處理的,你可以用它來形容你很忙,是沒聽見別人說話的好借口,一般用于冗長的會議。例如會議很無聊,發(fā)言人大篇幅發(fā)言后突然問你有何感想,你可以說I was multitasking,能重復(fù)一遍么?
