1 Care to elaborate on that?
“能否详细说明一下？”
口语就经常省略了do you:
(Do you) care to elaborate on that? 能否详细说明一下呢？
care to在这里可以替换成want to, 也有“could you XXX?”的意思在。
Care to elaborate on that?更简短的说法就是：Care to elaborate?
2 hiring freeze 是什么意思？
来看一句话：
Big Tech companies have been announcing massive job cuts and hiring freezes.
大型科技公司纷纷宣布大规模裁员和冻结招聘。
冻结了招聘，具体代表什么呢？
A hiring freeze is a scenario where a company stops hiring new employees or creating new positions to be filled. --也就是停止新员工的招聘+也不再创造新的招聘职位
There's a hiring freeze on. No overtime.
现在人也不招了；加班费也没了。
3 an old flame 一个旧的火花？
没错，就是“前任”“ex”“旧情人”的意思。
A couple of weeks ago an old flame started calling my boyfriend.
几周前，我男友的一个前任/一个旧情人开始给他打电话。
4 非不为也
“not for lack of trying”意思就是：不是没试过/不是不努力
Not terribly well it seems, but it is not for lack of trying.
看起来不是特别棒，但并不是因为没有努力哦。
5 get to sb. 还能这么用
Don’t let other people’s comments get to you.
别让别人的评论影响到你。
get to you: 影响到你，困扰到你
还是那句话：每天就5条，不贪多，相信积累的力量！
