轻松日记商务职场篇 第116期:不要轻视不如你的人

核心句型：
Never look down on people less superior to you.
不要轻视不如你的人。
look down on sb./sth. 直译过来就是：“向下看某人或某物”，这个短语的正确意思是：“轻视某些人或事”。因此，当美国人说"Never look down on people less superior to you."时，他/要表达的意思就是:"Never despise those people who are inferior to you."、"Never look down on those who are not so outstanding as you."。
情景对白：
Benjamin: Jane, you should not look down on people less superior to you. Men are born equal! Your words may hurt that cleaner's self-esteem.
本杰明：简，你不要轻视不如你的人。人人生而平等，你刚才的话可能伤害到那位清洁工人的自尊心了。
Jane: I'm sorry. I, I'm just...a little angry at her carelessness.
简：我也感到很抱歉。我，我只是对她的粗心大意感到有些生气。
