“I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use. Right upfront, tell people what you’re trying to accomplish and what you’re willing to sacrifice to accomplish it.”

– Lee Iacocca, executive

「我發現誠實是我可以使用最好的技巧。很直接的,告訴別人你想要成就什麼,及你願意犧牲什麼來成就它。」– 李‧艾柯卡 (總裁)

  • “technique” 是「技巧」,”right upfront” 是「很坦率的」,”accomplish” 是「完成、達到」,”be willing to” 是「願意」,”sacrifice” 是「犧牲」。第二句裡由兩個 “what” 所引導的兩個子句當動詞 “tell”「告訴」的受詞。
  • 李‧艾柯卡 (1924- ) 是前美國克萊斯勒 汽車 (Chrysler)的執行長兼董事,後來成為主席,在 1980 年代帶領即將倒閉的克萊斯勒汽車轉虧為盈而聞名,是著名的商界能手,著有 Where Have All the Leaders Gone? (領導人都到哪裡去了?) 一書。
