上周末收到朋友发来的短信 “Man they are going all out at South Coast Plaza for Chinese New Year!" "They're having a mini parade at Bloomingdales with a dragon!"
前几天,我班上的一个白人女孩送来一大堆从唐人街买的新年的食物和饰物,有个同学说;" Wow, you went all out for the new year!" 我笑她过年比我还投入。 Go all out - to do something with full enthusiasm or determination, with maximum effort. 全力以赴。
每次在店里看到难看或怪异的衣物,女儿总会说 “I'm sure some people can pull it off." 肯定有人穿戴了不难看。
那天我拿着一条小女孩的花布腰带教 "腰带" 这个词,有个男生说 "I can pull it off." 我把腰带递了给他,他接过系在自己的腰上,嗯,还真不算难看!
