talk shop

to talk about your job with those you work with when not at work

(与同事在工作时间外)谈论自己的工作

Even at a party they have to talk shop!

就是在聚会上，他们还是三句话不离本行!

A: What a beautiful day!

今天真是个好天气!

B: I know! This is great weather we’re having. Are you finished with your part of the big project? We need to present on Monday.

我知道!今天的天气真好。我们星期一要做的那个大项目，你的那部分完成了吗?

A: No, I’m not. But let’s not talk shop on such a nice day.

没有。不过，天气这么好，咱们还是别谈工作了。
