生活英语|失业聚会 pink-slip party

来源:www.hbdqqj.com 2024-10-16

求职就业的季节,假如有人收到了梦寐以求的offer一般都会乐不可支,而且还要叫上三两好友一块party庆祝一下。可是,在职场打拼已久的一些人却在这时收到知道聘公告书,成为失业一族。如此一群有的落寞的人有时也会聚会一下,交流交流工作经验,有时也会推荐一些有用的信息,如此的聚会叫做pink-slip1 party。

Pink-slip party is a party where each attendee is a person who has recently lost their job, particularly because of a failed or downsized dot-com company.

Pink-slip party(失业聚会)指刚刚丢了工作的大家,尤指刚从互联网公司失业的大家,一块参加的聚会。

至于为何要将如此的聚会用pink-slip来冠名,大家就得研究一下pink slip这个表达了。Pink slip也叫做walking papers,其使用方法可以追溯到20世纪初期,表示在发给职员的周薪信封里放一张粉红色的小纸条,公告职员解雇的噩耗。据了解,选择粉红色一方面是为了防止和其他的资料混在一块,以免职员因疏忽没看到公告;其次或许是由于粉红色相对比较柔和,或许会对被解雇职员产生一点慰藉用途吧。

来看个例句:

Fired Wall Street workers are trying to seek a job at pink-slip party.

被炒的华尔街职员们都试图在失业聚会上探寻工作机会。
