"Follow the Jewish", czyli pułapki dosłownego tłumaczenia

"Follow the Jewish", "after the Hungarian cake", "ice cream with lawyer"... Tajemniczy zwrot w tytule to nic innego jak efekt dosłownego tłumaczenia nazwy potrawy "śledź po żydowsku" znalezionej w menu pewnej restauracji. W "English Biz" przyglądamy się pułapkom językowym - tym momentom, kiedy "być w kontakcie" brzmi dobrze w głowie, jednak w praktyce... już niekoniecznie. Jak ich unikać? Podrzucamy garść idiomów i przydatnych zwrotów, które świetnie sprawdzą się w biznesowych sytuacjach.
