Make Short Work of 很快完成,快速处理
Make Short Work of (something/someone)后面可以接someone或者 something这个英语短语如字面的意思一样,是快速做完,很快解决某事或某人的意思。
例如:
We made short work of the food that was put in front of us.
我们风卷残云地吃完了端上来的食物。
The boxer made short work of his challenger.
这个拳手很快解决了他的挑战者。
其英文解释是:to deal with someone or something quickly
下面是一些关于这个英文单词的例子:
1.

Lena快速处理了创业计划中的最后一点事以便与可以赶去银行申请贷款,她计划在九月分开办自己的公司。
2.
Sveta spent all afternoon making the dinner but the family made short work of it. She had mixed feelings about that: It was sad that all her work disappeared so quickly but wonderful that her cooking was so appreciated.
Sveta花了整整一下午时间来做晚餐,却被家里人一扫而光。她现有种复杂的感情,劳动成果消失得这么快,她感到难过,同时又很欣慰,因为家人很喜欢她做的饭菜。
3.
