Crack on
Informal Neutral
What it really means
To start or continue with a task, to get going: "right, let's crack on". "Get cracking" means the same. Friendly and energetic.
Chinese explanation
开始干活、继续推进：right, let's crack on（好了，我们开工吧）。get cracking 意思相同。语气积极干脆。
Example conversation
A: Everyone's here, shall we start?
B: Yeah, let's crack on — we've got a lot to cover.
A：人都到齐了，开始吗？
B：好，我们开工吧——今天要讲的内容不少。
