If we do not take step immediately, some one will beat us to it, which means big loss for us.
如果我们不立即采取行动,一旦让别人捷足先登,这将会是我们的一大损失。
2、take measures to do sth
采取措施做某事
例句
This shows that our stock market is a low level market and only has the financing function, and we should take measures to promote resources allocation of stock market.
take action (=begin to do something to solve a particular problem) 采取行动虽然action既能作可数名词也可作不可数名词,但在take action词组中action 为不可数名词,所以该词组通常不说take actions。例如:We urge the authorities to take action. 我们敦促当局采取行动。
