Thrilled to hear you enjoyed this episode! Wishing you a lovely weekend :)
很棒，謝謝。其中有很多沒聽過! 有一個我聽過一點不同的變化："一朝被蛇咬，三年怕井繩". 我屬雞.. :)

太好了！很開心你學到了新的生詞，這些都是在課本上學不到，但生活中常見的用語。希望對你有幫助。謝謝你的留言！你的中文非常好！

@@Fun.Mandarin 謝謝妳太好了！我同意，這樣的白話很有用又比較難獲取，所以這樣的頻道很有價值的！ 我有另一個問題："身邊紅人"這個詞也沒有聽過。是器重的得力助手的意思嗎？"Boss's pet" 是不是一個 slang 的用法嗎？ 謝謝。

謝謝你支持我們的頻道！你問了一個很棒的問題，而且給了一個更高級且正式的用語 “器重的得力助手”，解釋得非常好！給你點讚👍 在我們Beyond Words Series的第一集“Colour in Mandarin Go Beyond Words” 提到，”紅” 可以用來表示一個人很受歡迎、很受重視。 (如果有興趣的話，可以在播放清單裡面找到這集😄)。在第二集的情境對話中，”老闆身邊的紅人” 就是指很受老闆喜歡、重用的人，是一種比較口語的用法，所以我特別把它翻譯成boss’s pet。 如果還有任何問題，不用客氣，歡迎提問哦！😇

啊，明白了，謝謝! 我想我知道為什麼我有點搞不清楚。英文， boss's pet，teacher's pet， etc. 有一點負面含義。就是因為 boss's pet 不一定是老闆的助理，反而是老闆最喜歡的人，像妳提到的。偶爾他們的態度會變得一點傲慢，導致他們濫用這個權位，利用別人。當然，這並不總是發生，但這個負面含義是存在的。🙂

你說得沒錯! 我們說一個人是"老闆身邊的紅人"， 有時候確實會帶了一些負面的含義，但還是要看說話的語境來判斷。 在影片中的對話，我想呈現公司的同事對Bob有比較負面的觀感，所以在翻譯的時候，選擇了boss's pet這個詞。但如果我們在其他的情境想說一個人很受老闆重用，"老闆身邊的紅人"還是可以做為一個正面的口語用法。你在上一個評論裡使用 "器重的得力助手"，則是非常正面且正式的用語👍用來解釋 "老闆身邊的紅人" 也是完全沒有問題的喔🙂
Love the 3rd suggestion for snake bite.
