I'm doing pretty well. How are you?
I know how that goes. I am taking stock of all the errands I need to run this weekend.
Taking stock means to step back from a situation and try to look at the whole picture. In this case it means the same thing as collecting one's thoughts.
Exactly! When you take stock of a situation, you think about it more clearly as a whole.
This weekend I have to go to the dry-cleaners: drop off some mail at the post office, wash my car, and pick up some groceries. I don't think it will take too long.
Yes, taking stock of what I need to do certainly helps put things in perspective and lets me realize how to best go about getting things done.
It certainly sounds like you have quite a bit of work to do.
That's the spirit.LH: Larry, 这两天还好吗？
LL: I'm doing pretty well. How are you?
LH: 还可以，就是这个周末有好多功课要做，肯定会忙得不得开交。
LL: I know how that goes. I am taking stock of all the errands I need to run this weekend.
LH: Taking stock是什么意思？
LL: Taking stock means to step back from a situation and try to look at the whole picture. In this case it means the same thing as collecting one's thoughts.
LH: 我知道了，taking stock就是纵观全局，全面考虑。你是说我应该从整体出发，安排所有要做的事情。
LL: Exactly! When you take stock of a situation, you think about it more clearly as a whole.
LH: 你刚才说，这个周末你也有一大堆事情要做。What things are you taking stock of?
LL: This weekend I have to go to the dry-cleaners: drop off some mail at the post office, wash my car, and pick up some groceries. I don't think it will take too long.
LH: 看起来，你已经taking stock of the situation，把所有要做的事情都安排好了。
LL: Yes, taking stock of what I need to do certainly helps put things in perspective and lets me realize how to best go about getting things done.
LH: 下星期上课前，我要完成两篇论文，有三篇文章要读，还要借同学的笔记，把上星期生病缺席的功课补上。
LL: It certainly sounds like you have quite a bit of work to do.
LH: 不过，我肯定能完成，特别是如今在你的帮助下，把思路全部整理清楚了，我准备在图书馆泡上一整天，不完成作业绝不出来。
LL: That's the spirit.
