2006.09.12 : This new plan was all washed up.
这个新计划彻底完蛋了。all washed up 彻底完蛋
今天我们要讲的一个短语是：all washed up。大家都知道，wash就是“清洗”的意思。但是，all washed up的意思是彻底完蛋，和干净不干净毫无关系。下面这位女士在和她妹妹说一个他们都认识的朋友：
Did you hear that Gloria's marriage is all washed up? She found her husband was seeing another woman, so she packed up, took the kids and moved out. Now she's suing for divorce.
她说：你听说了没有，格洛里亚的婚姻完蛋了，她发现她的丈夫有外遇，因此她收拾起自己的东西，带着孩子搬出去了。现在，她向法院提出要离婚呢！
海纳百川，有容乃大；壁立千仞，无欲则刚。
