輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第204期:有失尊嚴

核心句型：
It is not beneath your dignity to apologize to your subordinate.
向你的下屬道歉並不會有失尊嚴。
beneath your dignity 直譯過來就是：“在你的尊嚴下面”，這個短語的正確意思是：“有損你的尊嚴，有失尊嚴”。因此，當美國人說"It is not beneath your dignity to apologize to your subordinate."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"You won't lose face to apologize to your subordinate."、"You won't lose your dignity to make an apology to your staff."。
