很内向,在工位不敢工作,用英语怎么说?可不是work-shy哦!
work-shy
disliking work and trying to avoid it when possible
不愿工作的;懒惰的
shy除了表示“害羞的,腼腆的”,还可以表示“不足的,缺乏的”。
作动词时有“回避,避开”的意思,work-shy,逃避工作,表示“不愿工作的;懒惰的”。

关于work还有哪些容易产生歧义的表达,请看下面:

make-work
unimportant work given to someone to keep that person busy
没有价值的工作
源于动词表达式to make work,去安排或组织一项工作,而这项工作通常是不关键、不重要的,只是让某些人有工作可做。
例句:
In some departments there is too much make-work.
有些部门的无聊琐事太多。


thirsty work
hard physical work that makes you thirsty
(使人口渴的)重体力活
我们都知道thirsty是口渴的意思,什么样的工作会经常让人感到口渴呢?肯定是出汗多,需要付出重体力的工作。(其实我们老师上课时也需要及时补水)
例句:
Chopping wood is thirsty work.
锯木头是重体力活儿。
