Don't bad-mouth your boss or any of your co-workers.
不要說(shuō)上司或者同事的壞話。
bad-mouth直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是:“壞嘴巴”,這個(gè)詞的正確意思是:“說(shuō)某人的壞話”。因此,當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"Don'tbad-mouth your boss or any of your co-workers."時(shí),他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Don't speak ill ofyour boss or any of your colleagues."、"Don't slander your boss or colleagues."。
