Elon Musk, the billionaire poised to acquire Twitter later this week, strolled into the company’s headquarters Wednesday carrying a porcelain sink and tweeting “Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!”
作为习语,Let that sink in通常紧跟一份表态,要求这一表态得到恰当对待,以便他人可以充分理解、认识。
Let that sink in is an idiom used immediately after a statement to urge that it be properly considered so that it can be fully understood and appreciated.
当有人使用这一词组时,意思是他们认为刚刚传达的消息很令人震惊,很有趣,或者会产生重要的结果。
When someone uses the phrase, it typically indicates that they think the information they have just communicated is extremely surprising, interesting, or consequential.
Musk’s $44 billion deal to take Twitter private faces a Friday deadline, although the video he posted offered no evidence that the acquisition is complete. Twitter and Musk representatives had no comment on that question, although Twitter did confirm that Musk’s video tweet was real.
The splashy video — a vintage Musk production — also pulled the spotlight back to the world’s richest man and his on-again, off-again pursuit of the social platform.
The Friday deadline to consummate the deal was ordered by the Delaware Chancery Court in early October. It is the latest step in an epic battle during which Musk signed a deal to acquire Twitter, then tried to back out of it, leading Twitter to sue the Tesla CEO to force him to conclude the deal. If the two sides don’t meet the Friday deadline, the next step could be a November trial.
