【Let me handle this. 让我来处理】

当别人束手无策，或是没办法完成一件事，而你想把整件事扛下来时，就可以说这句话。

A: The boss is coming! He's going to be angry!
   老板来了！他要发脾气了！

B: Let me handle this. I know the boss really well.
   让我来处理。我很了解老板。

还有另外一种情况是，别人说要把一件事揽下来，但你不确定这个人是不是真能办到，就可以问Could you handle it? 你能处理吗？

A: I'll watch the office while you're at lunch.
  你出去吃午饭时，我会看好办公室。

B: Sure. If you can handle it.
  假如你能处理的话当然好。
