【情景再现】


公司会议上,一个经理正在讲下个月的营销计划,突然下面有个员工的手机响了,他出去接电话,但讲话声音太大,屋里的人都听到了他的讲话内容,他在和老婆吵架。闹的会场的人全都哈哈大笑。经理便拍了一下桌子说道:Let's get down to our business.


Let's get down to our business. 让我们言归正传吧。


get down to在这里是”开始认真做某事“的意思,to在此为介词,后面要接名词或动名词。business指”商业,生意,事务“,所以get down to business这个词组指的就是”开始做正经事“。当我们想转移话题谈正事时就可以说:get down to our business或get down to work。


【英语情景剧】




Benjamin: We have talked about your personal affairs for half an hour. Let's get down to our business.

本杰明:我们已经讨论你的私人问题半小时了,让我们言归正传吧。


Todd: Gosh! I'm very sorry.

托德:天呐!太抱歉了。
