高级商务英语口语大全：有失尊严

　　BEC核心句型：

　　It is not beneath your dignity to apologize to your subordinate.

　　向你的下属道歉并不会有失尊严。

　　beneath your dignity 直译过来就是：“在你的尊严下面”，这个短语的正确意思是：“有损你的尊严，有失尊严”。因此，当美国人说"It is not beneath your dignity to apologize to your subordinate."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"You won't lose face to apologize to your subordinate."、"You won't lose your dignity to make an apology to your staff."。
