还没有准备好参加驾照考试。)Is everything ready for the exhibition?(展会全都准备好了吗?)I've got to get a room ready for
our guests.(我得为客人们准备好一个房间。)
2.“fussy”意为“过分挑别的,过分讲究的”,常用的结构为“be fussy about”。例如:Lilly is fussy about her looks.(莉莉过分关
注她的外貌。)A lot of small children are fussy eaters.(很多小孩子都很挑食。) -Do you want to go out or just rent a movie?
-I'm not fussy.(-你想出去呢?还是想租个电影看?-我无所谓。)
3.“butter sb.’s toast”意思是“给某人的面包(片)上抹黄油”。“butter”在这里是动词,表示“给…抹黄油”。
