英语里的Westinghouse是什么东西?
因为没有背景知识,我完全不知道这段具体说的是什么：
One day I was invited to join a division of the old Westinghouse as a per diem.Boy,were those people weird.It took me three months to master the Westinghouse language — a brand new tongue that seemed to focus on words like “excellence,” “quality,” and “performance metrics” — and find a pair of wing-tipped shoes that didn’t kill my feet.Only once I had done all of that was I made an employee.
