a boss: 老板
示例
- "My boss, Bruno Delavigne, passed on your number."
- "It is also quite common for management positions to be given to friends and relatives of the boss, a practice that is called "nepotism"."
- "Because both of our bosses are gone, I would like to nominate myself as interim interim CEO."
- "My boss won't be happy, but maybe, just maybe, we can push the deadline back a bit."
- "Rocco : Duh, boss, what is a "tax evasion"?"
- "I've brought my boss, Mr. Gidyeon, for his, um, routine medical test."
- "Rocco : Duh, boss... what does "acquitted" mean?"
- "It is usually better to address a boss formally."
- "Your boss...and your father!"
- "Then in the middle of the ceremony, you fly away in a helicopter with your boss?"
- "The idea is that a man can create a sense of untouchable, unquestionable power around himself simply by wearing the perfect suit: colleagues fear him, bosses respect him and clients trust him. All this, thanks to his suit."
- "Something that says “I'm in charge of my longtime boss who I'm also in love with”."
- "I just have to have a chat with my boss, and I'll give you a call, hopefully tomorrow afternoon."

Mick calls Philip "mate" several times in this dialogue.
In this context, a "mate" is a friend.
In this context, a "mate" is a friend.
friend: In English, the word "mate" has many different senses. However, in the context of this dialogue, Mick is calling Philip "a friend" or "pal". "Mate" is a very common term in Australia and the United Kingdom.
business partner: Philip is not Mick's business partner. They both work for the same company. A "mate" is not used to indicate a "business partner".
sailor: Although a "mate" can refer to a "sailor" in another context, this is not what Mick is calling Philip here. We can assume from the business setting of this dialogue (the hallway at the Delavigne offices), that this nautical term doesn't belong here.
boss: A "boss" is the leader or chief of a group, or business. The term is not synonymous with "mate". However, we sometimes call our co-workers "workmates".
sexual companion: In this context, this is probably not the best choice. But again, I like the cut of your jib. You're bold, fresh, original: like a piece of chewing gum. Bravo!
