The chairman of the board pressed on me theunpleasant job of dismissing
good workers the firmcan no longer afford to employ. 译文:
董事长硬将一项不落好的工作派给我,让我解雇公司无力支付薪水的那些优秀员工。 点睛:
press sth. on
sb.意为“将某事物强加于某人,强迫某人接受某物”。介词of+动名词短语dismissing...用于解释说明job的具体内容。The
firm...employ是以workers为先行词的定语从句,省略了关系代词,其中afford和情态动词can连用表示“付得起钱”。 考点归纳:
