【Let me handle this. 讓我來處理】
當別人束手無策,或是沒辦法完成一件事,而你想把整件事扛下來時,就可以說這句話。
A: The boss is coming! He's going to be angry!
老板來了!他要發(fā)脾氣了!
B: Let me handle this. I know the boss really well.
讓我來處理。我很了解老板。
還有另外一種情況是,別人說要把一件事攬下來,但你不確定這個人是不是真能辦到,就可以問Could you handle it? 你能處理嗎?
A: I'll watch the office while you're at lunch.
你出去吃午飯時,我會看好辦公室。
B: Sure. If you can handle it.
