　　I have gotten carried away.

　　我扯太远了。

　　get carried away直译过来就是：“被带走了，被搬走了”，这个短语的正确意思是：“扯远了，跑题了”。因此，当美国人说"I have gotten carried away."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"I have said something irrelevantly¹."、"I have strayed far away from the point."、"I'm off the point."。

　　情景对白：

　　Shirley: I have gotten carried away in the meeting, but thank god I've made my point.

　　Jane: Yeah, sometimes we just move on to other topics spontaneously without awareness².

　　简：是啊，有时候我们很自然地就转到别的话题上，自己都没意识到。

　　搭配句积累：

　　①Why not continue your speech?

　　为什么不继续你的演讲？

　　②I heard that the group leader interrupted and criticized you during the meeting. What happened?

　　听说组长在会议上打断并批评了你，怎么回事啊？

　　③What you said just now has nothing to do with our topic.

　　你刚才讲的和我们的主题没有关系。

　　④Sorry, I will introduce it again right now.

　　不好意思，我马上再重新介绍一遍。
