※ 引述《Demogorgan (Superconductor)》之銘言:
: 我加上我那一段文字
: 出處:
: Social gerontology: a multidisciplinary perspective, 9E
: Nancy R. Hooyman, H. Asuman Kiyak
: Chap. 12 Productive Aging: Paid and Nonpaid Role and Activities
: p. 505
: Retirees Who Don't
: The number of employees age 75 and older has increased more than 80 percent in
: past 25 years. Marge, age 79, is one such employee. She still works 2 days a
: week as a waitress in a family restaurant. She states that she would rather
: work than go to a social club or senior center. Marge bring a strong work ethic
: and commitment to the job. A younger coworker maintains that "sometimes she
: runs us under the table."(Hollingsworth, 2002)
看這篇的話,很直覺的猜,(也稍微綜合參考前面的說法)
maintains只是等於像state一樣,代表一種明確的表達,
(或許用來反對一下一般可能會以為的說法)
sometimes she runs us under the table,
就是:有時(簡直)是由他在指揮我們,檯面下啦
這句其實偏中性,但是正負面意見應該都有一點,
參照前句,該老年人很敬業,連帶應該會管教其它員工,
有些人或許被感化到,但也難免會不爽。

感謝提供這連結,
用 run me under the table查,發現似乎有另一種用法,
應該是"(徹底)把我比下去"的意思...看起來更簡單更貼切,
看來我前面是想像力太豐富了。 幸好有高手救援
