Julia这个名字还是可以考虑考虑的咯？/Julia这个名字还是可以备选的咯？ 今天我们再来详细学习一下这个短语 on the table 字面意思：在桌子上； 引申义：to be available, as for consideration, acceptance, discussion, etc. 或者更简单一些，up for discussion 指某件事情可以被讨论/被考虑； eg: I wouldn't wait too long to accept the job offer—it might not be on the table for very long. 我不会等太久再去接受这份工作邀约—它可能不会长期有效。 eg: The boss said we could not discuss salaries since the topic was no longer on the table. 老板说工资的议题已经不在讨论之列了，所以我们不能再讨论工资的事儿了。 eg: There are two new proposals on the table. 有两个新的提案可供选择/待选择/可供探讨。 eg: If they have an alternative they should be coming forward and putting it on the table. 如果他们有其他选择，他们应该提出来，大家讨论啊。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 There are no new proposals on the table and there is not likely to be, not at this stage.
