1.Good so far, but we still need to make some more group decisions before we can proceed any further.
这里的'proceed'需要注意一下.'proceed'在表示"继续做"这层意思的时候,有两种含义.第一种是"继续做正在从事或已经开始的事情",和with搭配.比如,
We're not sure whether we still want to proceed with the sale. 我们不确定是否还要继续减价促销.
Work is proceeding slowly. 工作进展缓慢.
另一个意思是"接着做,继而做另外一件事情",和to搭配.

"leave sth to sb"就是把某事交给某人来做的意思,也可以指把选择权留给某人.
