　　小对话

　　A: I want to visit your manager. Can I?

　　我想见一下你们的经理。

　　B: Wait a moment. Please put your John-Hancockright here.

　　等一下，请在这里签名。

　　地道表达

　　John-Hancock

　　1. 解词释义

　　John—Hancock是“亲笔签名”的意思。源于美国政治家John Hancock。他在《独立宣言》上的签名潇洒有力，引人注目。由于这个原因， 英文中“John-Hancock”就成为签名的代名词。 如果下次你要对一个老外说：“请把你的大名签在这里。”你就可以半认真半开玩笑的说： “Please put your John-Hancock righthere.”和动词put连用，表示“签名”。

　　2. 拓展例句

　　e.g. He put his John-Hancock to a petition.

　　他在请愿书上签名。

　　e.g. The film fans gathered around him and asked for his John-Hancock

　　影迷围上来要他签名留念。
