怎么会呢我还苦恼着老板每次都叫我替他挑瓶好酒送客户说要让客户感受到我们的雅致品味我心想挑地沟油我还在行一点呢

Why would I? I'm always wracking my brains every time the boss asks me to pick a good bottle of wine for him to give to a client, saying that it must make the client aware of our refined taste. I always feel that I'd be better at choosing between gutter oils!
那倒是咱们喝过的地沟油怕是比红酒还多了不过你这位全能助理是怎么给老板挑酒的呀
nà dàoshì 那倒是zánmen 咱们hē 喝guò 过de 的dìgōuyóu 地沟油pà 怕shì 是bǐ 比hóngjiǔ 红酒hái 还duō 多le 了bùguò 不过nǐ 你zhè 这wèi 位quánnéng 全能zhùlǐ 助理shì 是zěnme 怎么gěi 给lǎobǎn 老板tiāo 挑jiǔ 酒de 的ya 呀
I know what you mean. We've probably drank more gutter oil than wine! However, how do you, such an all-powerful assistant choose alcohol for your boss?
