Now, what if you had to give a presentation to a client this Halloween? You could start with: ‘Let’s dive into this presentation… if you dare!’ This adds a little Halloween fun while still being professional.

3. Hosting a business meeting around Halloween

What if you’re leading a business meeting around Halloween?

You could start with something light-hearted like: ‘Before we get into the guts of this meeting, let’s address the elephant in the room… or should I say, the ghost in the room?’

This is a playful way to acknowledge something everyone is aware of but might not want to address.”

如果你在萬聖節期間主持商務會議，你可以用一個輕鬆的方式開場，

例如說：‘Before we get into the guts of this meeting, let’s address the elephant in the room… or should I say, the ghost in the room?’

（在我們深入討論會議主題前，讓我們先來面對這隻房間裡的大象…還是該說房間裡的鬼？）

這是一種幽默的方式來提到大家都知道但可能不想討論的問題。

• Get into the guts of (something): To start focusing on the main points or important parts of a topic.

• Get into the guts of 指的是開始專注於主題的重要部分或核心內容。
