轻松日记商务职场篇 第39期:不要指望别人

核心句型：
Don't bank on your colleagues to help you out of trouble.
不要指望同事来帮你摆脱困难。
bank on这个短语的正确意思是：“指望、依赖”。因此，当美国人说"Don't bank on your colleagues to help you out of trouble."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"Don't rely on your colleagues to help you with your problem."、"Don't depend on your workmates to help you out."。
情景对白：
