English英语 term

put myself right in the middle of it

English英语译成Chinese汉语 社会科学 体育/健身/娱乐 health club markets
"You need to know what's going on in your market, and you have no choice but to use every resource you can," Klein told ABC attendees. "Right now, there's a new development moving forward in our area that's probably two years away, and I called the developer and told him I might be interested in opening another storefront with him. I'm not, but I told him I was, so now he's thinking, 'Hmm, if a gym owner says he may be interested in the development, I'll call Barry first.' I don't know if that location could carry a gym, but somebody might be interested — so I {put myself right in the middle of it}. Those are the kinds of things I think you have to do to manage your world."
如何用贴切的字眼来表述?

没看到Klein的名是Barry。我理解歪了。
clearwater (asker) Oct 12, 2008:
您的意思理解出现了偏差!文章是说我即Barry先下手为强,为了防止其他对手与该开发商opening another storefront with him,先打电话给开发商,表明自己有这个意向。到时,开发商真有此意的话,就不会打电话给别人,而是给我即Barry了。
QUOI Oct 12, 2008:
我的理解正好相反。“put myself right in the middle of it”有“不是本意,却没办法躲避”的意思。看上下文感觉也是这个意思。"我本来不想给自己找竞争对手,但是因为我的查询,结果有可能把竞争对手(Barry)引来了。" 不过也没找到简洁的表达。

先霸着这个茅坑再说

不知道这位置是否开健身房的理想地方,但又不愿意错失了任何机会,先霸着这个位置再说吧!
