言歸正傳吧!

get down to our business這個(gè)習(xí)語(yǔ)直譯過(guò)來(lái)就是：“開(kāi)始認(rèn)真處理我們的生意”，也就是說(shuō)：“言歸正傳，談?wù)?jīng)事”。因此，當(dāng)美國(guó)人說(shuō)"Let's get down to our business."時(shí)，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Let's talk about our business seriously."、"Let's focus on the subject."、"Let's pay our attention to the main topics."。

情景對(duì)白：
Jane: Taylor Swift is really a power faction singer, isn't she?

簡(jiǎn)：泰勒·斯威夫特真是一個(gè)實(shí)力派歌手，不是嗎?

Shirley: Yeah, you're right. But we have gossiped for so long. Let's get down to our business.

雪莉：嗯，確實(shí)如此。但是我們已經(jīng)八卦這么久了，言歸正傳吧!

搭配句積累：
①I(mǎi)'m not coming here to listen to your silly jokes.

我不是來(lái)聽(tīng)你這些無(wú)聊的笑話的。

②I want to know the sales performance of preceding quarter.

我想知道上一季度的銷(xiāo)售業(yè)績(jī)。

③We need to choose between these two schemes.

我們必須在這兩個(gè)方案中做個(gè)選擇。

④My attitude on this problem is that we can not risk our capital on a dubious business.

我對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題的看法是，不能冒險(xiǎn)把資金投在一項(xiàng)沒(méi)把握的業(yè)務(wù)上。

單詞：
dubious adj. 無(wú)把握的

This claim seems to us to be rather dubious.

在我們看來(lái)這種說(shuō)法非常可疑。

Those figures alone are a dubious basis for such a conclusion.

僅憑那些數(shù)據(jù)就得出這種結(jié)論并不可靠。

My parents were dubious about it at first but we soon convinced them.

我父母起初對(duì)此心存疑慮，但是我們很快就讓他們信服了。
