I'm sold“我被说服了”
My boss is very old-fashioned and I'm having a lot of trouble selling the idea of working at home occasionally.
我的上司很守旧,我要费好大的劲才能使他相信偶尔在家里工作是个不错的主意。
In an interview, you have to sell yourself to the employer.
在面试时,你必须想办法打动雇主。
相对的,“I'm not sold”也别翻译成“我没有被卖”。它的正确意思是“我没有被说服,我不相信”。
英文释义:I don't believe you./ I don't believe it.
-Their last album sold over a hundred thousand copies.
-I'm not sold
-他们的最新唱片卖出了超过10万张。
-我才不信呢。
再来补充一个小小的知识点,如果形容“很容易被说服或强迫的人”,可以说“soft touch”。
We have been a soft touch for far too long.
长期以来,我们一直是软柿子。
