Unit29-1 公司福利
公司里有个员工离职了，原因是他不满意公司的待遇。谈论到福利制度，有哪些用语和词汇是我们应该学会的呢？看看这段对话吧。
What's with the sad face…？你怎么看起来不太高兴？
当我们发觉别人脸色与平常有异，似乎心情不好时，就能以这句话关心询问他人。
What's with the sad face?You look like you've Just lost your job.
脸色怎么这么坏？你看起来好像刚丢掉一个工作似的。
between you and me…只有你跟我知道……
当我们要告知别人一件事，希望对方保密时，经常会先说这句话。
Just between you and me,how much do you get paid?
告诉我就好（我会保密）,你的薪水是多少？
The whole nine yards…一应俱全
此为描述一切事物都准备妥当或什么都不缺时。
He bought her a cake,flowers,a ring,The whole nine yards.
他为她买了蛋糕、花及戒指，总之什么都有了。
