中国几大物流公司已经准备好应对双十一带来的巨量工作,运输作业的自动化程度也已经大大提高。请看本报昨日的报道: Major logistics firms in China are rolling up their sleeves for the delivery peak of the Double 11 shopping festival, which falls on today, with an increasing degree of automation. The event, also known as Single’s Day shopping festival, was first designed by Alibaba’s e-commerce platform Tmall on Nov. 11, 2009, and has become one of the largest online shopping sprees worldwide. 报道中的roll up one’s sleeves就是“准备应付 (挑战)”,这个短语很形象,因为卷起衣袖这个动作表示准备好干活(怕把衣袖弄脏)、或者解决问题的决心和勇气。例如: I know you’re disappointed, but you need to roll up your sleeves and redouble your efforts. 我知道你很失望,但是你需要加倍努力来面对挑战。 |
