【终于抽出时间做某事 / 终于开始处理某事】

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
