轻松日记商务职场篇 第187期:船到桥头自然直

核心句型：

You'll cross the bridge when you come to it.

船到桥头自然直。

cross the bridge when once comes to it 字面意思是：“当你来到桥边的时候你就可以跨过桥了”，这句谚语对应汉语中的谚语：“船到桥头自然直”，劝慰人们不杞人忧天，事情终会有转机的。因此，当美国人说"You'll cross the bridge when you come to it."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You can deal with the problem when it appears."、"The problem will get solved at last."。

情景对白：

Jane: The meeting will begin in half an hour. But my partner hasn't come yet. He's got all our files.

简：半小时后就要开会了，可是我的搭档还没来，我们的资料可都在他手上呀。

Shirley: Don't worry. You'll cross the bridge when you come to it.

雪莉：别担心了，船到桥头自然直。
