1.I'd like to get the ball rolling by talking about prices.
"get the ball rolling"就是"開始做某事"的意思,"to make something start happening".也可以說是"set/start the ball rolling",意思不變.
I'll start the ball rolling by introducing the first speaker. 我來介紹一下第一位講演者作為開始.
I'd like to get/start the ball rolling by doing sth是一句談話,談判時很好的開場白.
2.Shoot:(讓某人把話說出來)說吧,請講.比較的非正式.
You want to tell me something? OK, shoot! 你有話要告訴我?那好,說吧!
3.That's not exactly what I had in mind.
Have(got) sth in mind:打算做某事,有心做某事
What do you have in mind for dinner tonight? 你晚上想吃什么?
How long have you had this in mind? 你想這件事多久了?
大家要注意了,have sth in mind單純地指想或者計劃某事,不帶感情色彩,而 have sth on sb's mind意思就大不一樣了.
Don't bother your father tonight─he's got a lot on his mind. 今晚就別打擾你父親了--他的煩心事兒已經夠多了.
