亚历克斯·弗格森爵士,也就是我们熟知的老佛爷,经常因为球员在场上表现不佳而对球员暴跳如雷、狂暴怒吼。他吼叫时用的力气巨大,球员们说感觉就像被电吹风吹过一样。老佛爷的这种管理方式也就因此成为了 hairdryer treatment “电吹风”管理。
- "The fear of getting the hairdryer was the reason why we all played so well. He was a manager you wanted to do well for." (David Beckham)
- Players talk of the moment a switch is flicked in Fergie's head, he presses his face close to the you and gives you the hairdryer treatment.
值得注意的是,短语not have a hair out of place的意思是某人衣冠外表非常整洁端庄。
- John did not have a hair out of place for his important graduation ceremony.
