Report back with details.

回来跟我详述细节。

1.You look beautiful, as always.

短语点拨：as always的意思是“一如既往，就像平时一样”。例如：

I have this image of you as always being cheerful.（在我的心目中, 你的样子总是兴高采烈的。）

We will, as always, firmly support your just struggle.（我们将一如既往坚决支持你们的正义斗争。）

2.Must be some drama at the atelier.

词汇理解：drama有“一连串紧张刺激的事件”的意思，例如：a real-life hospital drama（医院中活生生的激动场面）。在这里可以理解为“大事，重要的事情”。

陷阱短语点拨：atelier是“工作室”的意思，at the atelier意思是“在工作室里”。这里注意要用介词at，不要用in等其他介词。因为这里是表示在一个地方的活动。

3.I was just telling my firm what a great investment she'd make.

语法点拨：句中的she had made是定语从句，修饰前面的先行词investment，由于先行词在句中做宾语，因此省略了关系代词which或者是that。

短语点拨：make an investment意思是“投资”，就相当于invest。

She's really going places. Hopefully places far, far away.

4.Let me get you a refill.

短语结构点拨：get somebody something使用的是直接宾语和间接宾语结构，意思给某人某物。句中说到的get you a refill意思再给你添一杯酒（或饮料）。

词汇点拨：refill在这里做名词用，它通常用于口语，意思是再添加一杯饮料，茶等等。例如：

Would you like a refill (ie another glass of beer, wine, etc)?（您还要再添一杯吗?）

5.It looks like, uh, you're taking care of business as discussed.

短语点拨：take care of在这里的意思是“管理，料理”，take care of business意思是“料理事务”。

语法点拨：as是引词，它后面跟形容词。句中用到的是discuss的过去分词discussed，它可以做形容词用，意思是“讨论过的”，as discussed意思就是“正如所讨论过的”。

6.I can't believe Serena came to this brunch. I told her to stay away.

短语结构点拨：动词believe与cannot连用含有“居然，竟然”的意思。例如：

I can't believe that Jason is in jail.（真不敢相信杰森在坐牢。）

He looks so young, I can't believe that he's really very naughty.（他的外表非常年轻，我不相信他真会很邪恶。）

7.You worried about Nate? Just a shot in the dark.

短语点拨：worry about意思是“为......担心，为......烦恼”，介词about在这里表示原因。例如：

Eg. Don't worry about him; he is a cheerful and elastic man.（别为他担心;他是个快活开朗的人。）

Eg. I shouldn't worry about a thing like that at your age. （我在你这个年纪，可不为这样的事犯愁。）

短语点拨：a shot in the dark是“瞎猜”的意思。例如：

It was just a shot in the dark, but I got the right answer to the teacher's question.（尽管那只是瞎猜，但我答对了老师的问题。）

We had nothing to go by. It was a shot in the dark, but it turned out right.（我们是没有根据的, 只不过瞎猜, 可是结果却猜对了。）

8.I think you know what you need to do to get his attention.

短语点拨：get one’s attention的意思是“吸引某人的注意力”“抓住某人的注意力”等等。例如：

You may jog John's elbow to get his attention.（你可以轻推约翰的肘以唤起他的注意。）

The boys fell over themselves trying to get Rosa's attention. （那些男孩子曲意奉承罗莎以求青睐。）

9.I'm honored to be playing even a small role in your deflowering.

短语点拨：play a role意思是“扮演一个角色”。例如：

Why shouldn't she play a leading role? （为什么她不该扮演主角呢？）

此外，play a role还有“起作用”的意思。例如：

Marriage can play a major role in a child's education.（婚姻教育在孩子的教育中发挥很大的作用。）

10.Just grab Nate and finish this. Report back with details.

词汇理解：grab在这里是“夺得”的意思，句中grab Nate意思就是得到Nate的心。

短语点拨：report back在这里的意思是“事后回来报告”。它还有“传达报告”的意思。例如：

Go and find out the truth to report back quickly.（立刻查明事实真相回来汇报。）

They always report back on their work without day.（他们总是不定期地汇报工作。）
