Don't beat about the bush any more!
别再兜圈子了！
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
词组beat about／around the bush，本意是，拨开灌木丛（以寻觅猎物），引申为“转弯抹角地谈话，旁敲侧击，不着正题”（refuse to come to the point when speaking about a subject）。
再如:
Instead of answering my question he began to beat about the bush.
他不回答我的问题而是在不着边际地兜圈子。
Don't beat about the bush. Come straight to the point.
不要绕圈子，直截了当地说吧。 作者: 寄托天下 时间: 2007-9-16 09:16
