輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第41期:無法對抗制度

核心句型：
You can't buck the system.
你無法抗拒整個制度。
buck the system直譯過來就是：“用羊角頂撞制度”，這個短語的正確意思是：“反對、抗拒某種制度。”因此，當美國人說"You can't buck the system."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"You have to obey the rule."、"You can't fight against the usual practice."。
情景對白：
Benjamin: Steven was promoted only because he came to this company earlier than me.
本傑明：史蒂文升職了，就因爲他比我早進這家公司！
Terry: You can do nothing but accept it. You can't buck the system.
泰瑞：這也是沒辦法的事，你只能接受了，你無法抗拒這個制度。
