2010-05-05来源:和谐英语
Notes:

1. lay (something) out 口头详细说明
lay out从字面上看,是说将某物展开,使之呈现在目;在此比喻"详细说明某事或某计划"。此外, lay something out还有"准备;计划;击昏"等解释。
Let me lay things out for you; our price was higher than our competitor's, so we lost the business.
让我把话跟你说清楚,我们的价钱比竞争者高,所以才失去那笔生意。

2. get the show started 揭开序幕;开始
show可指任何表演或戏院所上演的戏剧及影片等,用于此词组时则指任何活动。此词组以舞台开演来比喻"开始进行某一活动"。get在此处为使役动词,意思是"使", get something started即有"使……开始"的含意。此外,这词组也等于get the show on the road。
The manager wants to get the show started right now, because he has to leave for the airport in an hour. 经理一小时后要赶到机场,所以他想现在就开始开会。

3. take the floor 上台发言
floor为"地板"。take the floor是指"起立发言",有"站上讲台 (stand in open floor space),面对大家"的意思,通常是指在会议中正式的发言。
