内容简介 BBC英语教学的办公室里尘土飞扬，所以大家在争吵这土到底是从哪儿来的。最后得出的结论是因为 Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil 的办公桌常年不整理，上面落了一层厚厚的灰，弄的同事们都灰头土脸。不过 Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil 在听了此结论后却说 “let the dust settle 让灰尘落下”，这是什么意思？

大家好，欢迎来到 BBC 英语教学的《》节目。我是冯菲菲，不过我的搭档 Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil 还没来。

Sorry I'm late. It's going a bit crazy out there in the office.

Crazy?

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Yes. Everyone is arguing and shouting.

About what exactly?

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

The mess in the office. The boss says it's untidy and we should clear up after ourselves. He even said that my desk was like a pigsty! 

什么？领导说你的办公桌乱得像猪圈？Hmmm, well you'd better stay in here and keep out of the way until things have calmed down.

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Good idea – I'll just let the dust to settle.

So the office is messy and dusty? Is that what everyone is arguing about, the dust?

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

No , I just mean I'll wait for the situation to calm down.

哦，明白了。原来“let the dust settle 让尘埃落定”在这里所表达的意思是“等事态平息，待形势明朗之后”。So, you're just keeping out of the way. Are you scared?
