輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇第155期:假期泡湯
Our vacation plan will go up in smoke.
我們的假期將要泡湯了。
go up in smoke直譯過來就是：“像煙一樣消失了”，這個短語的正確意思是：“某事被徹底破壞”。因此，當美國人說"Our vacation plan will go up in smoke."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"Our vacation plans may go up inflames."、"Our vacation plan will fall through."。
情景對白：

Shirley: Oh, my God! We have planned to go to Hawaii for a travel this weekend.
雪莉：哦，天哪，我們都計劃好這周末去夏威夷旅行了。
搭配句積累：
①How come?
怎么會?
②Oh, what a pity!
哦，太遺憾了!
③I'm sorry to have let you down.
很抱歉讓你失望了。
④It doesn't matter. We can go next time.
