     情境短语
    
     1. get acquainted (with…) (和`……)认识,熟悉……
    
     这个常用的短语暗示双方从不认识到熟识, get可换 become。若是短语之后,要加上被认识的对象,以介系词 with连接。
    
     例: our boss got acquainted with a couple of real estate agents in the golf club.
    
     (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 wasnt 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. dont 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? dont 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。

     (bob简略地告诉我们经理们开会的情形。)
    
     6. growth sector 成长领域
