1.No buts about it.
“no buts”意为“没有可是”这个词字面意思是“没有借口、没有可是”，引申用来表示“毫无异议”。
2.This isn't a bad way to learn about the company.
“this isn't a bad way”意为“这不失为……的好方法”，“it's a good way to+V.”常用来表示“……是个好方法”，句子的主语为后面的不定式短语。“this isn't a bad way…”负负得正（isn't、bad）。与中文“不失为……的好方法”意思相同。
3.MIS has their hands in just about every aspect of Livevillage International.“have (someone's) hand in”意为“介入，帮忙”。“hand”是“手”的意思。“have someone's hand in”通常表示“插手某事，协助完成某事”。
4.“drum up”意为“竭力争取，招徕（生意）”。“drum”当名词是“鼓”的意思，在此则当动词。“drum up”可解释成“争取到，赢得（……生意）”之意，在本文中“drum up more orders”意指“获得更多订单”。
5.But it's no walk in the park.
“no walk in the park”意为“并非易事”。“walk in the park”字面意思为“在公园散步”。在公园散步是非常轻松、悠哉的，短语前加上“no”则成反义，指事情不像漫步公园般那么简单，因而引申为“并非易事”。
6.I'm substituting for Randy.

Can you substitute for (ie go instead of) me at the meeting？
