Stepping up at work是什么意思呢？是往前走一步，升職嗎？其實(shí)，stepping up在英語里是“挺身而出”的意思，是在工作場合多主動(dòng)付出，主動(dòng)要更多的responsibility。那外國人是怎么做的呢？
    我們先看這個(gè)對(duì)話吧：
    R: I need someone to put a proposal together for a potential new client. It's urgent.
    K: I've got this.Anything special I need to know?
    R: Great. They need a marketing strategy for their latest product line. Specs are in this file.
    K: Got it. When's the deadline?
    R: Have it on my desk by the end of tomorrow.
    K: No problem. I've got this.
    R: What angle are you going to take?
    K: I'll need to look into the data, but I was thinking of a similar approach to the big campaign we did last quarter for Walker & Walker.
    R: Ok, where are you going with this?
    K: I'll let the data do the talking, highlighting the promotions we did and the related boost in sales they've seen as a result.
    R: Great. Looks like you've got everything under control. Look forward to seeing your plan.
    我們來看看這里的短語和句型吧。
    Have sth on my desk by...
    這個(gè)短語大家經(jīng)常聽到，也應(yīng)該都能看得出來是哪兒來的。之前的工作都是在紙上寫的。完成了任務(wù)就把文件放上司的辦公桌上上交，是吧？現(xiàn)在很多公司都已經(jīng)是paperless了，為了環(huán)?；旧喜挥眉埩?，都是電子文檔。那這種情況下還可以用這個(gè)短語嗎？當(dāng)然可以。所以如果你們公司平時(shí)用的都是電子文檔，你的老板給你說這個(gè)project要have it on his desk by 什么時(shí)候，不要以為你一定要把文件全部都打印出來哦。意思就是give it to me by....
    Let... do the talking
    對(duì)話里說的是I’ll let the data do the talking，意思是我跟客戶講方案的時(shí)候會(huì)靠數(shù)據(jù)說話。再舉個(gè)例子吧。She always let's her body do the talking，她總會(huì)靠她肢體語言表達(dá)她想表達(dá)的意思。
    再補(bǔ)充一些相關(guān)的地道短語吧。
    Get recognition （獲得認(rèn)可）
    相信大家在工作上希望get recognition。沒有人會(huì)默默地付出，不讓別人看得到。但不能為了get recognition就吹牛。謙虛的低頭做好每一件事，老板肯定是看得到的，早晚就能get recognition for your work.
    Go the extra mile（加倍付出）
    你們?cè)诠ぷ魃蠒?huì)go the extra mile嗎？其實(shí)如果你想與眾不同，想讓上司看到你的不一樣，你是避免不了going the extra mile的。不管是提出更多的ideas，付出更多的時(shí)間加班還是更積極地去完成每一個(gè)任務(wù)，都能叫做going the extra mile.
    Stand out from the crowd（鶴立雞群，脫穎而出）
    剛剛才說到的，想與眾不同，就是要stand out from the crowd，讓老板看到你的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。
