喷倒老美
Bill和朋友一起去度假，在宾馆里休息时，聊到了宾馆的经理，朋友说：“Almost every employee respects their manager. He carries a lot of weight.” Bill以为朋友说那位经理很胖，就说了句：”Is he really very fat?”

想聊就聊
Tom：I find that every employee here respects that manager very much.
汤姆：我发现这里的员工都很尊重那位经理。

Ben: Yes. He carries a lot of weight. Everyone here is willing to follow his orders.
本：是的，他的话很有分量。这里的每个人都愿意听从他的指挥。

知识点津
weight本意指“重量”，carry意为“承担”, carry a lot of weight指“承担很多重量”，引申为“……有很大的影响力，……很有分量”。 He carries a lot of weight.表示“他的话很有分量。”carry a lot of weight 也可用于形容某件事很重要。
