轻松日记商务职场篇第228期:热情得让人受不了
She'd kill the client with kindness.
她那股热情劲儿会让客户受不了的。
kill someone with kindness字面意思是：“用温柔杀死某人”，这只是一种夸张说法，其真正含义为：“热情得让人受不了”。打个比方，你去购物，本来只是想买件衬衣，可热情有加的服务员不仅为你拿来了衬衣，还帮你搭配领带、外套、裤子、鞋子，称赞你眼光独到、品位极高。最后你全都买下来了，不禁感叹被他们的热情给杀死了。因此，当美国人说"She'd kill the client with kindness."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"She is too zealous to the client."、"She is too enthusiastic to the client."。
