Whoever's Phrase that Pays gets spoken first wins, feeling lucky?

Sure. Let's go with"slippery slope". I thought you were the competition.

Fair enough. How about "align incentives."

NO. "Boil the ocean."

I don't know. "Most impactful."

You did that last time. And it's not really a phrase.

All right people. Take your seats, please. Let's go, you wanna work today or what? Let's start with the Alcor deal. Last week, we went in, we kick the tires. This week, we're gonna take this baby out for a spin. Which reminds me, I want you to take care of the shell corporation that we talked about this morning. I need to take a deposition for my effing uncle. Okay? On to new business, Sun Corp, big-time energy conglomerate in Houston, is acquiring Min Enterprises, a clean-tech play for 2.9 billion.

Whoo! That's real money.

This deal could make or break our year. So nobody breathes a word of this. Are youavailable?

Willing and able.

Excellent.

I can draft up a quick and dirty NDA, get that signed ASAP. Great, Yun. So, Fallon, I want you to sit inon the kickoffthis afternoon. Ted Lassiter, Sun Corp CEO, is coming at three o'clock.

Love to.

Great.

I worked on an oil and gas client last year. Chevron divested its holdings in Mexico's Royale Oil. So I know all about family-owned energy and all those tricky regulatory issues.

Yes, great,Yun, you sit in on the kickoffas well. Make sure we're ready to go at three o'clock.

Absolutely. Yes. My pleasure.

接下来我们看一下视频中其他的词链

Slippery Slope

Slippery Slope 滑坡效应

slope 斜坡，表面不平整的地方。

slippery滑的，不稳定的。

如果某样东西是滑溜溜的，就很难在斜坡上立住。Slippery Slope 指的是一旦开始就很难停止的一系列事件，而且情况有可能变得愈发糟糕。

例句

Jake should be careful. He's on a very slippery slope.

杰克得小心了。他目前的情况越来越糟糕。

sit in

sit in 可不是只有坐的意思哦

sit in 可表示列席；参加；旁听

例句

I willsit inon meetings.

我将会参加会议.

Fair enough

Fair enough为口语常见说法，当对方的陈述、决定或者行为合情合理，但可能自己还有很多隐藏的东西没有表达出来时，可以用这个表达。意思是“讲得通”，“说得过去”，“有一些道理”，有时近于空洞、含混的“嗯”、“哦”、“好”等。

Fair enough既可以表示“积极的肯定”

也可以表示“勉强同意”。

例句

"Fair enough,"he said, and momentarily there was a pleasant consensus.

“好吧”，他说.一瞬间，我们之间似达成了一个共识，这让人愉快。

"Fair enough,I'm ready to do something else anyway, " Roger replies.

“也行。正好我也准备玩点别的，”罗杰回道。

指(足球赛的)开球，开赛; (活动的)开始

kickoff源自于足球，就是开球，发球的意思。后来，这个足球术语逐渐引入到商业中，引申为XX开始，kickoff 是“项目启动会”,经常用于一个项目正式开始的会议用语。

例句

During thekickoff, the team structures were discussed and mapped out for the next release.

在开始研讨会上，针对下一个版本讨论并制定了团队结构。

available

指人 “能够出席的, 有时间的”

例句

另外，available形容人时还可表示“单身的”,
