The nitty-gritty can also mean the practical details that need to be finished. Used in this way, you can also say the nuts-and-bolts of a task or situation. Here is another example. We have talked about our vacation plans all week. Enough talk!______________________________"Nitty-gritty"还有一个意思是需要完成的实际细节. 作这个意思的时候,你还可以用一个任务或者一件事情的"nuts-and-bolts"(基本组成部分). 这里是另外一个例子. 我们一整个礼拜都在谈论我们的度假计划.谈够了吧!________________________________
