輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第207期:虛僞善變

核心句型：
I'm tired of dealing with my two-faced co-workers and capricious boss.
我討厭跟那些虛僞的同事和善變的老闆周旋。
two-faced 直譯過來就是：“兩面的”，這個短語的正確意思是：“虛僞的”。因此，當美國人說"I'm tired of dealing with my two-faced co-workers and capricious boss."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"I hate dealing with my hypocritical colleagues and fickle boss."、"I'm sick of mingling with my disingenuous workmates and variable boss."。
