你的新老板听起来真讨厌，无论给我多少钱，我都不会在他手下干的。
3. It's as good as a chocolate teapot 中看不中用This course is as good as a chocolate teapot, so I want to quit next semester.

I bet you’ve never been taught by some tea before. I love tea. Of course I do, I’m an Englishman. What’s this? It isn't my cup of tea! In English, if there’s something we don’t like very much for example a sport or a type of music, we can say ‘it's not my cup of tea’. It’s not my cup of tea. Please turn that down. Jazz really isn’t my cup of tea. And now… Time for a geography lesson. China is an extremely large country. Can you imagine how much tea there is in China? A lot. Now, lucky you. Today I’m going to do anything at all that you ask. So, come on… Well, I wouldn’t do that for all the tea in China.
In English, if there is something we would never do, we can say ‘I wouldn’t do it for all the tea in China’. I wouldn’t do it for all the tea in China. It means there is nothing, not even something worth a great deal that could persuade you. I can’t believe you asked me to…to do that.Tea is hot. Well, apart from iced tea. And where do we make tea? That’s right. In a teapot So, as tea is very hot, what do you think is a good material for a teapot? Porcelain yes, glass yes, metal ok, chocolate… NO! A chocolate teapot would be completely useless. In English, if something is completely useless, we can say ‘it’s as good as a chocolate teapot’. It’s as good as a chocolate teapot. What’s that you say? You say these lessons are as good as a chocolate teapot? I don’t know. I work so hard for you and no-one seems to understand me. Quite sad really.
