职场小贴士
如何用英语表达你的愤怒？
Don't push me around． 不要摆布我。
通常当我讲这句话时，我还会想到一个字“bossy”，像是老板一样，喜欢指挥别人。如：“You are so bossy. I don't like that.”这句话也可以单讲，“Don't push me.”或“Don't push me any further.”还有一句跟push有关的成语：push the button，指使，操纵。如：“I know why you are doing this, someone is pushing your button! ”。
Don't you dare! How dare you！ 你好大的胆子啊！
这句话可以在两种场合说，第一种是很严肃的场合，如小孩子很调皮，不听话，父母就会说，“Don't you dare! ”意思是“你给我当心点，不然等会就要挨打了”。另一种场合是开玩笑，如有人说他要跟某网友约会，你说“Don't you dare? ”就有点开玩笑的语气，“你不怕被恐龙给吃了吗？”
Put up or shut up． 要么你就去做，不然就给我闭嘴。
要注意的是，put up词典上查不到“自己去做”的意思，但见怪不怪，很多口语都是词典上查不到的。这句话也让人想到一句成语：Walk the walk, talk the talk，即说到做到，有点像是中文里的言行一致，或是只说walk the talk也可以。
You want to step outside？ 想到外面解决吗？
也可以说：You want to take this outside?
老外跟我们一样，两个人一言不合吵起来了，可能就有人要说这句了，指的就是要不要出去打架啦。我还听过类似的用法，如：“Do you want to pick a fight? ”你要挑起争端吗？或“This means war.”这就意味着跟我宣战。
