2 agree with 同意某人的说法,意见等等

4 do something 做事情
5 put the issue abover board 坦诚不公地谈事情,打开天窗说亮话
6 instead of 而不是
7 through other channels 通过其实方式,通过其他渠道
{句不离法}
1 Whatever we do, we should do it above board.
翻译: 无论我们做什么是,都要正大光明的做。
讲解: 这是一个含有由whatever 引导的让步状语从句的复合句。Whatever 是个复合词,可以拆分开来用于这个句子中,书面形式显得更为正式。For example: What ever I say, he always disagrees. 不管我说什么,他总是不同意。Above board 是副词短语,在这里做状语。
2 You are right. We shouldn't do anything under the table.
翻译:你说得对。我们不能偷偷摸摸的做事。
讲解:under the table 是介词短语,在这里作状语。
3 Well, since you agree with me , we put the issue abover board instead of talking about it through other channels .
翻译:那好,既然你同意的说法,我们就把事情放到桌面上来说,而不是通过其他方式去谈论这件事。
讲解: 这是个由 含有since引导的让步状语从句的复合句。在这里强调一点就是 instead of 这个短语相当于介词用,因此后面如果跟动词,就要用动名词形式。 Through the other channels 是介词短语,在句中做方式状语。
