轻松日记商务职场篇第23期:专注本职工作
Concentrate on your job, or you'll be given the pink slip.
专注于你的工作，否则你会被解雇。
be given the pink slip直译过来就是：“被给予一张粉红色纸片”，由于解雇通知多用粉红色复写本，所以这个短语的正确意思是：“被解雇”。因此，当美国人说"Concentrate on your job, or you'll be given the pink slip."时，他/她要表达的意思就是："You should work hard, or you will get fired."、"Focus on your job, or you might be kicked out."。
