② be placed on 意为“被放置在,名列”,可构成be placed on hold,意为“被搁置,在举行”。

③ fold into意为“(烹饪时)把……调/拌入,折叠”,作“折叠”解时,into后常跟表示形状的词汇。

④ go to the bathroom意为“去洗手间,去卫生间”, go to the toilet也可以表示这个意思。

文化小贴士

在商务宴会活动中,用餐礼仪可谓是非常重要的。因为这可能直接决定你以后与客户之间的关系。因此在商务用餐时要讲规矩,越是正式的高级宴会,宴会礼仪的要求也就越多。在商务用餐中,很不妥当的做法就是使用手机。不过在美国的一些高级餐馆中,一般会要求客人在入座前将手机交到前台,以防对别人产生干扰。另外,在商务会餐时,女士将钱包放在桌子上是非常不合适的,可将其放在桌子底下或者椅子底下。不过有些商务用餐礼仪会根据地点不同而有些许差异,比如在南美,女士在离开时,男士必须站起来示意一下,而在西雅图,女士离开座位时,男士没有必要站起来。在西方商务宴会中,通常都会有好几副刀叉,如果你不知道用哪一种的话,就要记住最近的那副是用来吃甜食的,而最靠外边的是吃沙拉的。另外,在吃饭时不能随便选择你想吃的,而是选择离你最近的。 ZCXsqcd8QFRqBDlB+L9V49suHyjnMfyP+/O6y+P9IipKwY0wQ3FWJKgWCnTh2OCc
