Lord Lipsey, a Labour man to the core, has been at or near the political coalface since the early 1970s.

Lipsey勋爵作为一名实实在在的工党人，从二十世纪七十年代早期起就要么在政治工作面上忙碌，要么也从事着相应的工作。

Do practice managers go anywhere near the coalface?

我们业务经理有帮忙干点脏活儿吗?

So the way I work is always informed by me being on the ground, in the field and having essentially walk the walk and talk the talk with the people who are at the coalface.

因此，我的工作方式总是由我在现场、在现场以及基本上与采煤工作面的人一起走路和交谈来了解的。
