(both look at cards for a few seconds, then put them in wallets-not pockets) 谢谢您,孙先生。也请收下我的名片(递上自己的名片),叫我johnathan就行了。 (两个人都看了一下对方的名片,放入皮夹而非口袋中) b: if you don't mind, johnathan, while you and mr. sun get acquainted, i'd like to check the arrangements for the meeting. 如果你不介意,johnathan,在你和孙先生互相认识时,我先失陪,看看会议安排得如何。 j: you're certainly on top of things, brian. brian,一切当然在你掌握之中! s: (looking at brian) you'll find mr. tayler-brian - is a force to be reckoned with at apex tradig.

(我们老板在高尔夫俱乐部里结识了几位做房地产的商人。) 2. on top of things 完全掌握 字面的意思是将问题克服,高高踩在上面,引申为"控制全局"。 例: the new manager was always worried he wasn't on top of things. (新经理一直担心自己无法掌握全局。) 3. (a) force to be reckoned with 值得注意的人物 "(a) force","力量",可以指一个团体、事物或个人； "reckon"在此的意思为"认定"。 "a force to be reckoned with"是形容"有成功的条件而值得注意的人物、团体"。 例: the new company will be a force to be reckoned with in the future. (这家新公司未来值得大家注意。) 4. don't i know it. 我完全同意! 当此句型以句点(.)而非问号结尾时,表示完全同意对的方意见,为口语用法,强调的是肯定的含意。意思为"我怎会不知道!?；我当然明白这一点!"。 例: you say the discount rate is too low? don't i know it! (你说这折扣打得太少?我完全同意!) 5. in a nutshell 简言之 "nutshell"原为"坚果壳",又指"极小的容器",故 "in a nutshell" 这个副词短语的意思是"简言之"。 例: bob told us in a nutshell what happened in the managers' meeting. (bob简略地告诉我们经理们开会的情形。) 6. growth sector 成长领域 这个经济学上的名词是指经济成长特别快速的领域, "sector"是"区域；部门"的意思。 例: the leisure and entertainment industry is a growth sector in taiwan. (休闲娱乐业是台湾目前的成长领域。)
