work like a charm/work like magic 立竿见影
表达 work like a charm 的意思是“出乎意料的有效,有神奇的效果”,这里的 charm 是指有魔力的饰物,可以形容事物的功效特别灵。另一个意思相同的表达是 work like magic 像变魔术一样,成效立竿见影。 例句 A bit of flattery works like a charm on her. 给她带带高帽子特别有效。 You've got to trust me on this: this cream works like magic on wrinkles. 你一定得相信我,这款护肤霜抗皱纹的功效简直太神了。 I soaked my cup in some vinegar and the tea stains disappeared overnight. It worked like magic. 我把我的杯子泡在醋里,茶渍一夜之间就消失了,效果立竿见影,就像变魔术一样。 |
