定义
to play host (to somebody): 招待（客人）
Susie, could you play host to Mr. Cashman next Tuesday when he comes to the offices? 苏西，卡什曼先生下周二来办公室时，你能招待一下他吗？
a host: 主人，东道主
示例
- "I'm going to be very busy with outside projects while she's here, so I need you to play host."
练习 1
Bruno writes that because he is going to be he would like Polly to .
Bruno writes that because he is going to be working away from the office 1 he would like Polly to welcome the efficiency expert 2.
1 working away from the office: Bruno writes: "I'm going to be very busy with "outside" projects while she's here, so I need to ask you to play host". When Bruno says "outside projects" he is referring to "work" that he must do away from the office.
1 making designs for the building: "Outside projects" does not refer to architectural work.
1 organizing company trips: "Outside project" is not synonymous with "company trips".
1 committing adultery: Although "outside project" can be a code word for "committing adultery", it would be rather unprofessional, not too mention indecent, of Bruno to write this to Polly.
2 welcome the efficiency expert: Bruno writes: "I'm going to be very busy with "outside" projects while she's here, so I need you to play host". "To play host" means to entertain guests or to play the role of host to a visitor.
2 manage the staff: Although "managing the staff" may be a part of her "playing the host", Bruno does not ask Polly to assume this responsibility. He only asks her to take care of the efficiency expert when she comes.
2 hire new receptionists: Although the "receptionist" may be a sort of "host" for a company, this is not at all what is implied in the text.
2 make up some games: Bruno simply asks Polly to take care of the needs of the efficiency expert and to "play the host" for her visit. This does not involve "making up games".
