1.休息室 -----"lounge"、"lobby"、"vestibule"或"foyer"。

2."wineshop"----"a cafe or tavern that specializes in serving wine",专指供人喝酒、小憩之处,而中国人所说酒馆、酒楼、酒肆或酒家其实就是饭店、餐馆,英文都应是"restaurant"。

3.购物商场-----shopping mall, shopping store,shopping center

4."corporation"指"Groups of persons authorized to act as an individual,eg,for Business purposes",实际上该词本身有总公司的意味,所以,group corp. 似乎group 多余。 group company 可用。

5.城区-----downtown area, or downtown district

   pay dirt   n.有利可图的发现

9. I'm worried that the situation will go too far  我担心事情会进一步变糟。 it's worth a try值得一试。 one's beef with sb,与某人的争执

10. At first=in the beginning  I wasn't that interested 开始我不太感兴趣。

11. Hi, Jim! You look pretty good today. Everybody at the office says hello - we're all pulling for you to pull through this operation and get back to work as soon as you can.
