みなさんこんにちは。

今日は月曜日、ということはビジネス英語の時間ですね！

今日の表現は “ back to square one” です。

これは、前回の試みが失敗したため全て始めからやり直さなければいけないという意味です。

例えば
Negations with the company fell through and we were back to square one.
(会社との交渉は失敗に終わり、私たちは振出しに戻った。)

いつか役に立つ日が来ますように。

[English version]

Hi there, it’s Monday which means it’s business English time!

Today’s expression is “ back to square one” which means to have to repeat everything from the start because a previous attempt failed.

For example.

“Negations with the company fell through and we were back to square one.”

Hope that comes in useful.
