So let's start with this check. 2,460 paid out by FRP Incorporated for 3days'work.

But you are being guarded here.

Yes, but the difficulty is，is that I did this work for someone you know and…I think it would be unfair to them to divulge it.

是啊，但我的难处在于这件事情是我为你认识的人做的。而且我认为把这些信息透露給你，对那人来说不公平。

It's not who you think.

不是你以为的那个人。

And who do I think?

那她为什么不从洛克哈特或加德纳的账户付钱给你？

Well, it's not a work matter. Um，I'd rather stick to generalities here.

Get the ball rolling! We must settle the problem one by one,

开始吧，我们必须逐一解决问题。

重点讲解:

Let's begin.

Get the ball rolling!

乍一看get the ball rolling不就是“让球滚动起来”的意思吗？是的，这是一个源于足球运动的习语。在足球场上，一般由一位球员开球，将球传给队友， 这也就意味着一场比赛开始了。后来，这个短语运用到日常生活中，表示让某个活动或者事情“开始吧”。
