 “发音模仿秀”语音模仿,秀出一口漂亮英语!  1) He is in the driver's seat.
  NOTE1: 注意driver's seat的重读和连读;
  NOTE2: It means that he is in control of the situation.

  2) Let's keep it low-key!
  NOTE1: 注意low和key之间的连字符,如果没有的话意思是“向下的一个调节键”;
  NOTE2: It means that we'd better not be so optimistic(乐观) and excited.

  “世博VOA”洗耳恭听,两个句子小菜一碟!

  Here is a story:

  Our boss was quite stubborn and fault-finding in our work. One day, Tom and I were asked to work out a market analysis for our products. Finally we finished it on time and Tom was quite happy for the great accomplishments in our report, but I knew we shouldn't be so optimistic because our boss was in the driver's seat and he was usually so picky. Then I told him:'Tom, Don't be so optimistic. Keep it low-key!' I was right. When we handed in the report, we were seriously criticized. And, the only thing we could do was to try it again.

  1) He is in the driver's seat. 他掌握一切。
  2) Let's keep it low-key! 让我们保持低调。

  “请你猜猜看”挑战自我,情景抢答也刺激!

  Here are three situations:

  S1. If you see that everybody in this company obeys his order, then you may say he should be the boss! Could you give us another way to express this meaning?

  S2. Now you are a green hand in this company. Do you think that in the future you will be in the driver's seat? How?

  S3. We know the saying that extreme joy begets sorrow(乐极生悲). So before the great success, what is the best attitude?
