circle back

一个每天能听到无数次的短语
I will circle back to yo
回头再说

跟 I will get back to you意思差不多。但是被完全滥用了,一般说这个都是聊不下去了以后想结束谈话,也没有什么back。

注意circle这个词的发音是/ˈsərk(ə),和马戏团cirus /ˈsərkəs/,回路circuit/ˈsərkət/是一路的

而cycle是/ˈsīk(ə)l/,跟recycle/rēˈsīk(ə)l/是一路的。很容易弄混

Circle back. See you again and again and again whether or not you want to be seen. Example: "I'm having cocktails with Mervin, but I will circle back around midnight to see if you've finished the Implebottom Report" or "The stalker abided by the court's restraining order but then circled back to hang out by my garbage can."
