實(shí)用口語(yǔ)：Get it together 打起精神
今天Larry要開車去接李華一起去上課。
LL: Hey, Li Hua!? You’re not ready for school! We need to go now! It’s already 8:30.
LH: Larry? 你怎么這么早就來啦！現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)了？
LL: Get it together, Li Hua! It’s already 8:30! We need to leave in fifteen minutes, or we’ll be late to class!
LH: Get it together? 把什么放一起啊？你在說什么嘛？
LL: I said "get it together"! That means, get organized, focus on what you need to do.
LH: 噢，你是要我趕快準(zhǔn)備好上學(xué)。Get it together就是要人打起精神做該做的事。那除此之外，Larry，get it together還能用在什么場(chǎng)合呢？
LL: "To get it together" , or "get one’s act together" can also mean something very general, such as arranging one’s life for the better.
LH: 哎喲！get it together既可以指準(zhǔn)備去上學(xué)，又可以指把一個(gè)人的`生活安排得更好。Larry，這聽起來很復(fù)雜，我都有點(diǎn)糊涂了。
LL: Here’s an example: After finishing college, I didn’t work hard to plan for the future for several years. But finally I got my act together, and got accepted into graduate school.
LH: 大學(xué)畢業(yè)后悠閑幾年，沒有長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)打算這在年輕人里也是常事。不過，你們這些生在美國(guó)的孩子真幸福。要是在中國(guó)，錯(cuò)過一次機(jī)會(huì)以后恐怕就難了。
LL: That’s right... here in the U.S. people usually have several chances to get it together. One of my friends almost failed his first semester of college. But he got his act together, and now he’s a Ph. D. candidate at Yale.
LH: 哇！你這個(gè)朋友還真是好樣兒的。大學(xué)第一學(xué)期差點(diǎn)兒不及格，現(xiàn)在居然是耶魯大學(xué)的博士生了。可有的人犯了錯(cuò)，一開始失敗了就很難再振作起來，做好事情了！
LL: Right, right... enough talking! Get it together, Li Hua. If you’re not ready in ten minutes, I’m leaving!
LH: 好啦！好啦！別催我嘛！再給我5分鐘！
