return to one’s muttons字面意思是回到自己的羊群吧
这个成语来自法文诗，说的是牧羊的男女在牧场上谈恋爱，
海阔天空，但最终还是要回到现实，回到自己的羊群中来。
这个成语就是“回到实际问题，言归正传”的意思，来看
一个例句
eg: Let’s return to our muttons. I’d like to say something about
this issue.
What goes around comes around. 意思是：你的所做所为，也
会得到报应的。 「What comes out of you will return to you.」
这句话有些迷信 (superstition) ，像「十年河东，十年河西，
风水轮著转」。不过老外所指的「因果报应」，多半是指
「恶报」。
I went back to the ticket office at once.我马上又回到售票处.
