     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 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。)
