Don't sweat it. 沒事!

技術挑戰指數:★★★明天的管理學要上台報告,雖然資料已經準備好了,還是很緊張!因為管理學的教授是出了名的嚴格,今天晚上還是再看一次好了。隔天一早到教室,看到大家都一派輕鬆的聊天、吃早餐,問了旁邊的同學,他說:Don't sweat it.,今天是代課老師,聽說人很好,不會太嚴格的!


來聽老美怎麼說?
Sophie:I'm worried that the boss will find out that I'm not helping Ken with the spreadsheet.
  (蘇菲:我擔心老闆會發現我沒有幫肯恩做分析表。)
Gary:Don't sweat it.
  (葛瑞:別緊張。)
Sophie:But I am sweating it. I feel irresponsible.
 (蘇菲:但是我很緊張,我覺得自己不負責任。)
Gary:Ken will never say anything. He's passed himself off as the expert for so long, it's impossible
    for him to admit now that he needs help.
  (葛瑞:肯恩絕不會說任何話。長久以來,他都自認為是專家,他不可能承認他現在需要幫
  助。)


俚語小解析Don't sweat it. 別緊張。  
當你認為沒有任何理由需要擔心時,你可以說:”Don't sweat it.”。與”Don't worry about it.”同義。也是將”There is no reason to get nervous and sweaty about this matter.”濃縮表達的方式。
