举个例子：在一个人人说话拐弯抹角的地方工作着实令人厌倦。It's tiring being in a workplace where nobody ever says what they mean .或者是：It's tiring being in a workplace where everybody beats around the bush .

Cut corners:直译就是抄近路，不拐弯抹角。在这里的意思是为了短期（in the short run）利益而采取一些手段节约成本以满足赢利的目的。有时这种选择关乎诚信。有点投机取巧的意思。

1. to cut corners means to do something less carefully or thoroughly than it should have been done because you want to save less money or time or work.e.g. Although the prices of raw materials rose sharply, you should not have cut corners.虽然原材料价格提升了太多，但你也不应该偷工减料。2. in the short run means in the short term, or considering something as just temporary.e.g. Taking the whole situation into consideration, we may lose a little bit in the short run. However, I do believe that we are sure to win a lot more customers in the long run.纵观全局，我们或许在短期内有所损失，但从长远角度看，我坚信我们定能赢得更多的客户。
