Welcome back to Business English Pod for the second part of our series on thành ngữ tiếng Anh có quan hệ với Công nghệ.
Every day you use dozens of high-tech devices and apps to communicate, kế hoạch, organize, monitor and store information. It’s almost impossible to imagine the workplace before modern technology. It’s also almost impossible to imagine the English language without all the idioms we use related to technology.
If you want to be on the same wavelength as expert English speakers, you can’t ignore idioms. And I just used a prime example there. If you are “on the same wavelength,” it means you understand each other. This comes from radio technology, where you have to be tuned to the same frequency to receive a signal.
Bạn có thể thấy, an idiom has a special meaning that isn’t always clear. You can think about the words on their own, but that won’t help you. You need to learn idioms as chunks of language, with a special meaning beyond the individual words. Theo cách này, you will be able to communicate even better in English.
