李华跟Larry一起去吃晚饭。今天我们要学两个常用语: squared away和temporary fix.
LH: Larry, 怎么样,今天上班忙不忙?
LL: Oh it was a bit stressful. I had a relatively large report due that I was too busy to start until the last minute, but it looks like I got it all squared away.
LH: Squared away? 你是说虽然等到最后一分钟,但还是赶出来了?
LL: Yes, Li Hua, squared away means I took care of it, or finished the job.
LH: 太好了,那你现在可以好好放松一下了?
LL: Yeah. Now I just feel relieved to have gotten the report squared away.
LH: 那份报告是关于什么的?
LL: It was just about the logistics of a new advertising campaign that ships out next week. It wasn't too hard, just tedious, but now it is all squared away.
LH: 我明白你的感受,处理掉手头的一件大事,肯定是如释重负。
LL: Exactly. It's hard to relax with a report hanging over your head.
LH: 没错。我经济选修课的期中论文上星期交,老师规定要写二十页,而且还要进行很多复杂的数据分析。
LL: How did it turn out?
LH: 我在学校电脑房里整整泡了两天,I finally got it all squared away. 总算是搞定了,竟然还提前了一天。
LL: That's excellent.
