My father knows the ins and outs of the European constitution. 我父亲了解欧洲宪法的来龙去脉。
示例
- "It's clear that you have mastered the ins and outs of the British pub, so I don't think you'll experience any cultural problems. I was amazed when you stood on the table and sang Abba songs with members of a women's rugby team. While this kind of behaviour may not be acceptable in front of your client, I'm sure you'll go down well with English girls!"

1 have fun: This is the correct choice. To "let one's hair down" is to relax, have fun or enjoy something, without thinking too much. For example: Let your hair down, stop working and come dancing with us! Hannah is complimenting Bruno on his ability to relax and have fun.
1 wear long hair: This is incorrect. The expression "to let one's hair down" is not related to having long hair.
1 drink a lot of alcohol: This is incorrect. The expression "let your hair down" does not mean "to drink a lot of alcohol", although this is one way of having fun.
1 stay up late: This is incorrect. The expression "let your hair down" does not mean "to stay up late" (=to go to bed late).
2 customs and traditions: This is the correct choice. Hannah thinks that Bruno has mastered the correct procedures associated with British pubs, in this case its cultures and traditions. The "ins and outs (of the new computer program)" are the details of a complex situation, system, procedure or machine (such as a new computer program). Example: "The ins and outs of the political process in France always confuse me".
2 highs and lows: This is incorrect. "Highs and lows" usually refer to the numbers of the stock market, or the temperatures in the weather report. It can also mean the good things and bad things that people experience in life. The expression is not used to describe the "ins and outs" of something.
2 ups and downs: This is incorrect. The "ups and downs (of life)" are the good things and the bad things that people experience in life. The expression is not used to describe the "ins and outs" of something.
2 advantages and disadvantages: This is incorrect. The "advantages and disadvantages (of an idea)" are the things which are favourable or not favourable. The expression is not used to describe the "ins and outs" of something.
3 be received positively by: This is the correct choice. If something or someone "goes down well", they are well received or accepted. Example: My new husband went down very well at the dinner party, everyone loved him. Hannah thinks that Bruno's behaviour in pubs means that English girls will like him. Note that in American English, "to go over well" is used. Example: The present for the president went over very well.
3 be embarrassed in front of: This is incorrect. The expression "to go down well" indicates that something was well-received or appreciated. Hannah is not implying that Bruno will be embarrassed in front of English girls.
3 be unpopular with: This is incorrect. The expression "to go down well" indicates that something was well-received or appreciated. Hannah is not implying that Bruno won't be popular with English girls. "To go down badly" is the opposite of "go down well".
3 have many relationships with: This is incorrect. The expression "to go down well" indicates that something was well-received or appreciated. Hannah is not implying that Bruno will have many relationships over in England.

When Bruno writes about the "pros and cons", he is referring to the of outsourcing.
When Bruno writes about the "pros and cons", he is referring to the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing.
advantages and disadvantages: "The pros and cons" of an argument, proposal or idea are its positive and negative aspects. Bruno will discuss the "pros and cons" or the "advantages and disadvantages" of outsourcing with Philip and Susie. When making a decision on a future policy, many companies discuss the "pros and cons" before moving forward.
ups and downs: The "ups and downs (of life)" are the good things and the bad things that people experience in life. The expression is not used to describe the "advantages and disadvantages" of something, although the term does indicate the "positive and negative" elements of a situation. For example, we might say: My wife and I have always been loyal to each other despite the "ups and downs" of life.
ins and outs: The "ins and outs (of the new computer program)" are the details of a complex situation, system, procedure or machine. The expression is not used to describe the topic of a discussion or debate, though it could be used to describe the inner workings or details of a debate. For example: The "ins and outs" of the political process in France always confuse me.
highs and lows: "Highs and lows" usually refer to the numbers of the stock market, or the temperatures in the weather report. It can also mean the good things and bad things that people experience in life. It is not used to describe something specific like the topic of a discussion or debate.
professionals and amateurs : The expression "the pros and cons" doesn't actually refer to being "professional", rather it refers to the positive and negative aspects of a situation.
