核心句型：
It's dollars to buttons.
十拿九稳。
It's dollars to buttons直译过来就是：“这是已经扣上了按钮完全到手了的美元”，这个短语的正确意思是：“这是确定无疑的事，这是十拿九稳的事”。因此，当美国人说"It's dollars to buttons."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"There is no doubt."、"It is in all probability."、"It is ninety percent sure."。
情景对白：
Boss: What's the chance to win in this negotiation 1?
老板：这次谈判成功的机会有多大？
Benjamin: It's dollars to buttons. After all, we have made full preparation.
