   There's a different expression, to start in on someone — on a person, 这里还有一个不同的表达,“to start in on someone(a person)”,


  and if you start in on a person — on your brother, on your wife, 如果你“start in on a person(你的兄弟,你的妻子)”,
  that means that you are criticizing 1 them — you're saying something bad — something negative about them. 意思是你正在批评他们,你正在说他们的坏话。
  When I was younger, if I didn't do my homework, which was often, my mother would start in on me, meaning she would criticize 2 me. 我年轻的时候,如果我不做作业,那是常有的事,我妈妈就会“start in on me”,意思是她就会批评我。
  "Jeffrey, do your homework!" The only person who calls me "Jeffrey" is my mother. “杰弗里,做你的作业!”只有我妈妈会叫我“杰弗里”。
  Back to our story, I said that my phone rang and it was "my project manager, Julie." 言归正传,我说我的电话响了,是“我的项目经理朱莉”打来的。
  The manager is the person that is in charge of a certain group of people — someone who is the boss, 经理就是管理特定人群的人,就是老板,
  and a project is just a set of things for you to do, usually related 3 to each other. 而项目就是一系列需要你做的事,通常这些事情互相关联。
  Well, my project manager, who's like my boss, "asked me to come in for a conference call with our head office." 那个,我的项目经理,她就像我老板一样,“通知我参加我们总部的多人电话会议。”
  A conference, "conference," call is a telephone call with three or more people. 电话会议(conference)是指三人或三人以上的电话会谈。
  And, that's very common in American business and in international business to have a conference call so more than one person can talk on the telephone. 而且,电话会议在美国企业和跨国企业中极为普遍,这样多个人都能进行电话交谈。
