What is it to you.
源自臺詞：What was it to you?
2 情景：過年了都把家進(jìn)行一次徹底的清潔，以辭舊迎新，你叫你孩子把整個家打掃得干干凈凈，就這么說：
One’s house must be given a proper going-over.
源于臺詞：I want the dining room given a proper going-over today.
3 情景：每當(dāng)我們把飯菜做好后，都會催促家人吃飯，叫家人吃飯就這樣簡單地說：
Breakfast/lunch/dinner is ready.

5 情景：你在工作的單位很嚴(yán)，老板也很苛刻，吃飯的時間都在做事，你可以這么發(fā)牢騷：
No rest for the wicked.
