英语短语：Business as usual恢复正常
<p>今天上午同事们都在伏案工作的时候，忽然感觉到明显的地面晃动，很多人争相下楼，议论纷纷。过了一会发现没事之后，大家也纷纷回到办公桌前，重新拿起手中的工作。这件小事让我想到一个习惯用语，那就是：<span word="Business">Business</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="usual">usual</span>。</p><p><span word="Business">Business</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="usual">usual</span>常用来形容事情经过了异常之后恢复正常状态，可以翻译成“一切照旧，虚惊一场”。例如：<span word="People">People</span> <span word="resumed">resumed</span> <span word="work">work</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="small">small</span> <span word="fire">fire</span> <span word="incident">incident</span>, <span word="it">it</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="business">business</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="usual">usual</span>.(大家在着火小插曲之后继续工作，办公室恢复正常。)。这个习惯用语还有别的意思，我们一起来看一下：</p><p>例句-1：<span word="Imagine">Imagine</span> <span word="preparing">preparing</span> <span word="breakfast">breakfast</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="six">six</span> <span word="kids">kids</span>. <span word="Then">Then</span> <span word="getting">getting</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="washed">washed</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="dressed">dressed</span>, <span word="packing">packing</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="lunches">lunches</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="getting">getting</span> <span word="them">them</span> <span word="off">off</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="school">school</span>. <span word="That">That</span> <span word="might">might</span> <span word="seem">seem</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="huge">huge</span> <span word="challenge">challenge</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="wife">wife</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="me">me</span>, <span word="it">it</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="BUSINESS">BUSINESS</span> <span word="AS">AS</span> <span word="USUAL">USUAL</span>. <span word="It">It</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="part">part</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="everyday">everyday</span> <span word="routine">routine</span>.</p><p>想像一下：给六个孩子准备早餐，然后给他们洗脸穿衣服，装饭盒，再把他们统统送到学校去。这看起来是一项巨大的挑战。但是对我妻子和我来说，这是家常便饭，是我们每天要做的工作。</p><p>例句-2：<span word="Normally">Normally</span>, <span word="my">my</span> <span word="tiny">tiny</span> <span word="town">town</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="quiet">quiet</span> <span word="place">place</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="movie">movie</span> <span word="director">director</span> <span word="chose">chose</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="site">site</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="upcoming">upcoming</span> <span word="picture">picture</span>, <span word="it">it</span> <span word="became">became</span> <span word="incredibly">incredibly</span> <span word="busy">busy</span>. <span word="Film">Film</span> <span word="stars">stars</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="production">production</span> <span word="crews">crews</span> <span word="flooded">flooded</span> <span word="Main">Main</span> <span word="Street">Street</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="local">local</span> <span word="restaurants">restaurants</span> <span word="served">served</span> <span word="overflow">overflow</span> <span word="crowds">crowds</span>, <span word="shops">shops</span> <span word="saw">saw</span> <span word="increased">increased</span> <span word="sales">sales</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="news">news</span> <span word="reporters">reporters</span> <span word="came">came</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="around">around</span> <span word="seeking">seeking</span> <span word="interviews">interviews</span>. <span word="For">For</span> <span word="three">three</span> <span word="weeks">weeks</span>, <span word="it">it</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="anything">anything</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="BUSINESS">BUSINESS</span> <span word="AS">AS</span> <span word="USUAL">USUAL</span>.</p>
