★ through具有「完成,终了」的意味。例如:He went through
an operation.「他动了手术。」I'm through for the day.「我做完今天的工作了。」be
through with ~ 的意思是「完成~」。Are you through with ~ 之后接用用品、用具、工具等时,用于问人用完了~没有。be
finished也可用来表达类似的意思,如Are you finished with your work?「你完成工作了吗?」He's
finished.一语的意思绝非「他已经完成了」,而是「他已经完蛋了」之意。
★ Sure. Go ahead.「当然,请便。」此语用于对方请求我方许可做某事时,向对方表示允 许。另外,在用完自助洗衣机或复印机等时,可向等在后头的人表示It's
all yours.「该 你用了。」

Vince: That's right. Once the contract with Stars.com is final,
we'll deal with Zina.
Elvin:
I can't wait to see the expression on her face when we dump
her.
Vince:
Don't jump the gun. She's in the driver's seat right now.
You have to be patient.
Elvin:
Don't worry. I'm patient, but vengeance will be mine.
Vince:
Settle down, Elvin. If you're not careful, you'll give our
plan away. Zina's smart, you know.
Elvin:
OK. A couple of deep breaths. OK. I'm fine.
