   Subject: Finish up your plate.


  A: Oh, honey. How delicious the steak 1 is!
  哦,亲爱的,这牛排的味道实在是太美了。
  B: Thank you. Finish up your plate.
  谢谢!那就把它们吃光吧。
  地道表达
  finish up
  1. 解词释义
  Finish up有“以……为终结”,同时还有 “吃完,吃光”或“喝完,喝光”的意思。对话中的finish up one’s plate是表示吃饭时把盘子里的食物都吃光了,最后只剩下盘子了。这种说法很形象,跟汉语中的“碗都见底了”的说法有异曲同工之妙。
  2. 拓展例句
  e.g. Finish up your drinks now, please.
  请现在喝完。
  e.g. Afraid that I couldn't finish up the work on time, they came to help me.
  他们担心我不能按时完成工作, 就来帮助我。
  e.g. We must finish up this business in a day or two.
  我们必须在一两天内把这事结束。
  e.g. He never dreamed that he would finish up owning such a lot of property 2.
  他做梦也想不到最终会拥有这么多的财产。
