秘书尴尬事Secretaryembarrassment

　　MBA毕业后，我便被分配到某机关当秘书。一次，在机关干部生活会上，局长将＂如火如荼＂读成了＂如火如茶＂，我当即提示说：＂局长，这个成语念‘如火如荼’。＂
　　局长听后极不自然地说：＂那你说‘荼’和‘茶’区别在哪里？＂
　　我忙解释道：＂‘荼’是指茅草的白花，‘茶’是生长在南方的常绿灌木，这两个字只差一横。＂
　　局长又问：＂茶开什么色的花儿？＂
　　我说：＂开白花。＂
　　局长听后把脸一沉，极不乐意地说：＂我说大学生，荼开的是白花，茶开的也是白花，再说写出字来也就差那么小小的一笔，总体上还是差不多的嘛，你干吗钻那死牛角尖儿……＂
　　接着局长又板着面孔、严肃地对我说：＂你身为秘书，以后说话要和领导保持一致，不要吹毛求屁！＂
　　我一听，局长又把＂吹毛求疵＂说成了＂吹毛求屁＂，刚想更正，可嘴巴张了半天，话是再也没说出口。
　　After graduating from MBA, I was assigned to an organization as a secretary. Once, at the life meeting of government cadres, the director read ＂in full swing＂ into ＂like fire like tea＂. I immediately prompted and said: ＂director, this idiom reads＂ in full swing ＂.＂
　　After hearing this, the Secretary said very unnaturally, ＂what＂s the difference between ＂tea＂ and ＂tea＂?＂
　　I hurriedly explained: ＂tea refers to the white flowers of thatch, and tea is an evergreen shrub growing in the south. There is only one horizontal difference between these two words.＂
　　The director asked, ＂what color of flowers does tea bloom?＂
　　I said, ＂white flowers.＂
　　After hearing this, the director sank his face and said very reluctantly: ＂I said that college students have white flowers in tea and white flowers in tea. Besides, writing words is so small. On the whole, it＂s almost the same. Why do you drill the tip of that dead ox horn...＂
　　Then the director said to me with a straight face and seriousness: ＂as a secretary, you should speak in line with the leaders in the future. Don＂t blow your hair and fart!＂
　　As soon as I heard it, the Secretary again said ＂nitpicking＂ as ＂nitpicking for fart＂. I just wanted to correct it, but my mouth was open for a long time and I never said anything again.
