【每日一练】fill me in
有时候我们不在现场,不知道事情发生的情况、真相或后续发展,这时我们可以叫知情的人“fill me in”,“fill”的意思是填充,“fill me in”就是“让我知道;告诉我”,后面再加上“on sth.”就表示要告诉的内容。
所以,“fill sb. in on sth.”的意思就是:to tell someone the details about someone or something
I couldn't attend, so will you fill me in?
我参加不了,你能告诉我具体情况吗?
I didn't receive the information in the mail –
could you fill me in?

A: Thanks for filling me in. You’ve been a big help.
谢谢你告诉我情况。你帮了我大忙。
B: Any time. That’s what friends are for.
随时效劳。我们是好朋友嘛。
I wasn’t there, would you fill me in on
what happened?
我不在场,你能告诉我发生了什么事吗?
Please fill in the boss on the details.
请告知老板细节。
下次想让别人告诉你具体情况的时候,就简单地说声:
Fill me in.
