　　短语解说

　　tailor-made 最适合，最完美的

　　"tailor"是‘裁缝师’;裁缝师以手工制作的西装，总是最合身。因此这个词组是形容某人或是某物的条件好，对于某种情况来说，是最完美、最合适的。

　　With her background and education, she is tailor-made to run this company.

　　以她的背景和教育程度，她来经营这个公司是最适当了!

　　MBA 企管硕士

　　这是"Master of Business Administration"(企管硕士)的缩写。"Master"是指‘硕士(学位)’;"Administration"是‘行政管理、经营’的意思。

　　If you want an MBA, it's important to get accepted to a good school.

　　你若有心攻得企管硕士的学位，最好先申请到一所好学校。

　　forward-looking 高瞻远瞩的

　　这个口语用法源自动词词组"look forward",‘往前看、眼光向前’之意。所以"forward looking"这个形容词引申有‘高瞻远瞩的、考虑未来’的意思。

　　Only the most forward-looking companies will adapt and profit in the 1990's.

　　在九O年代，只有把眼光放远的公司才能生存获利。

　　take-charge 负责的
