上次我哋介紹咗啲常見嘅職場idioms,唔知你有冇運用到一兩個呢?其實有好多常用嘅expression都可以用一個簡短嘅idiom黎表達,大大提升你同同事、客戶之間嘅溝通效率。今日我哋繼續同native speakers學下仲有咩好用嘅idioms啦!
1. get down to business 進入正題、言歸正傳
I think we’ve spent enough time discussing the idea, and now it’s time to get down to business.
我覺得我們花太多時間在討論了,是時候進入正題了。
2. on track 上軌道、按部就班
If we continue at this rate, we’ll be right on track to finish before the deadline.
如果我們照這個速度進行,我們絕對可以按部就班地在截止日前完成。
3. wing it 即興發揮
A: You haven’t practiced for the presentation at all?
你沒有練習你的演講嗎?
B: Nah, but don’t worry! I’ll just wing it.
沒欸!我打算即興發揮。
4. not going to fly 門都沒有、不可行
A: Jeremy is going to go ask his supervisor if he can take half a month off to go travel.
Jeremy 正要去問他的主管能不能請半個月的假,他想要去旅行。

那是絕對不可能的,門都沒有!

We may not always see eye to eye in certain situations, but I still have faith in her to get the job done.
