Tom told his friend, "My brother has a job with ten thousand people under him."

His friend replied, "Wow! He must be the CEO of a corporation."

Tom said, "No，he cuts the grass in a cemetery."

Notes:

1. Tom told his friend, "My brother has a job with ten thousand people under him."

汤姆告诉他的明友：“我兄弟的手下有一万人。”

"under"在这里可以指“在…的下面”，也可以指“在某人的监督、掌控之下做…”例如，美国知名系列剧《六尺风云》 (Six Feet Under),探讨的是关于死亡的问题;如果我们说 "Someone is six feel under."，则表不“某人已经死去。”

因为美国人会将棺材埋在六尺深的地下。

2. His friend replied, "Wow! He must be the CEO of a corporation."

他的朋友回答：“哇!他一定是公司的总裁。”

CEO 总裁(chicf executive officcr 的缩写)

corporation [ˌkɔ:pəˈreɪʃn]n.公司

3. Tom said, "No，he cuts the grass in a cemetery."

汤姆说：“不是，他帮公墓的草坪除草。”

cemetery [ˈsemətri]n.公墓
