get around to doing something
They're just now getting around to giving you the paper.
They're just now getting around to giving you the paper. (they're just now getting around to giving you the paper)
意思:
👉 他们现在才终于有时间把那份文件给你。
👉 他们拖到现在才开始处理,把文件给你。
这里最重要的是 get around to doing something。
get around to doing something
= 终于抽出时间做某事 / 终于开始处理某事
通常暗含一个意思:
👉 这件事早就应该做了,但是一直拖着,现在才做。
例如:
I finally got around to cleaning my room.
我终于抽出时间把房间收拾了。
I'll get around to it eventually.
我迟早会抽时间处理的。
所以:
getting around to giving you the paper
= 终于开始把文件给你
just now
这里的 just now 是:
👉 刚刚 / 现在才
所以:
They're just now getting around to...
= 他们现在才终于开始……
这里有一种明显的拖延很久的感觉。
整句话拆开
They're = 他们
just now = 现在才
getting around to = 终于抽时间做
giving you the paper = 把文件给你
所以:
They're just now getting around to giving you the paper.
自然翻译:
“他们现在才终于把文件给你。”
或者更口语:
“他们拖到现在才给你这份文件。”
⚠️ get around to 后面一定接 -ing
✅ get around to doing it
❌ get around to do it
例如:
I need to get around to fixing my car.
我得找时间把车修一下。
这里 to 虽然长得像不定式的 to,但它是介词,所以后面用 doing。
