Robert overheard someone talking on the Cheung Chau ferry."Getting my employees interested in work on a Monday morning is like drawing teeth."
Robert was amazed."But drawing teeth is easy!"he exclaimed,and he set about to show how simple it is.
What Robert didn't understand,of course,is that like drawing/pulling teeth describes any task that is met with resistance.Drawing here means pulling.
在长洲轮渡上，罗伯特无意中听到有人谈论说：“每周一上午调动员工的工作热情，就像画牙齿一样难。”
罗伯特听后大吃一惊地说：“但是画牙齿很容易阿！”然后他就开始示范牙齿是多容易画。
其实是罗伯特不理解这个人的意思，drawing/pulling teeth的意思是每项工作都遇到了阻力。Drawing在这里是拖、拉的意思。尘尘
