"三句话不离本行"用英语怎么说?

Talk shop

指在工作场合或者与工作相关的情况下讨论工作事务、行业知识或者专业话题。通常用于提醒人们在社交场合中不要只谈论工作,要多元化话题。

这个短语起源于19世纪,最初用于描述商人或者工匠在店铺中聊天讨论工作相关的事务。后来逐渐演变成在任何工作场合讨论工作事务的意思。在英语中,'shop'通常指的是商店或者工作场所,而'talk shop'就成了谈论工作的意思。

'Talk shop' 是一个动词短语,后面通常接着讨论的具体内容。在句子中通常作为及物动词使用,后面会跟随名词或者从句,例如'They were talking shop about the new project.'

一些人容易误解'talk shop'只是指谈论购物的事情,实际上它更多的是指谈论工作事务,行业知识或者专业话题。因此在使用时需要注意上下文,避免产生歧义。

Examples:

During the conference, they couldn't help but talk shop and discuss the latest trends in the industry.
在会议期间,他们禁不住开始讨论工作并且谈论行业的最新趋势。
