Well, I don't have any idea what I want to be, so more power to you!你毕业以后想当一个机械师？额……我还没想好我以后要做什么，那，先祝你好运了！Sue: “I spent years getting ready for that job, and I finally got it.” Mary: “More power to you!”Sue：“我花了好些年准备那份工作的应聘，而我最终拿到了那份工作。”Mary：“那你真的是很棒啊！”eg: If he can fix this mess, more power to him.如果他能搞定这一团糟，那他真的是超级厉害了。2. 再来看第二个短语：swing sth. 在口语中什么意思？这个短语我们之前节目里其实讲过，这次算复习了。to arrange for something to happen, by persuading people and often by acting slightly dishonestly或者to make (something) happen安排某事发生，使某件事情发生（通常使用不怎么诚实的手段或者通过说服别人的方式）eg: Tom says he can swing this deal with the bank, but I'm not so sure.Tom说他能搞定这次和银行的交易，但是我不确定/我没把握。eg: Let's meet with them and see if we can swing an agreement.咱们会会他们，看看能否谈成个合同。eg: If you want an interview with him, I could probably swing it for you.如果你想见他，我可能能帮你安排一下。eg: I hope I can swing a deal that will make us all a lot of money. 我希望我能搞定一个大单，给咱们全部人赚很多钱。eg: We all hope you can swing it.我们都希望你能把这事儿搞定。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】-- He's decided to climb Mount Everest.-- Well, more power to him.
