地道表达
big picture
1. 解词释义
Pictures有两层意思:一是“大局,全局”。如果说He can see the big picture.表示此人并非单单着眼于眼前的蝇头小利,而是可以综观全局,放眼未来,拥有长期规划的能力。二是“事情的主要部分,重点”。在上面的对话中就是第二个意思。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. Johnnie can't see the big picture. He's unwilling 1 to wait. He wants to get paid now.
强尼看不到大局。他不愿意等。他现在就要拿薪水。
e.g. Oh, Elvin doesn't know anything. He can't see the big picture.
喔,艾文啥都不懂。他看不到大局。
Ps:the transfer of staff members:人事调动问题
Ps 2:concentrate on的意思是“集中精力于......”。例如:
We can skip over the details and concentrate on the general issues.
你可略过细节部分,而把精力集中在总则上。
Please concentrate on the business at hand and don't drag in irrelevant 2 issues.
不要牵扯其他问题。
