so far, so good 啥意思?
昨天,因为媒体的误译,so far, so good 这个习语火了一把。
其实 so far, so good 的意思是“到目前为止,一切还算顺利”,潜台词是“前景未知”,所以似乎还算不上很棒。
all is well (with)总的情况是令人满意的It has taken a little time to recover from the accident but I'm glad to say that all is now well.从事故中恢复颇费了一些时间,但我很高兴地说,现在的情况是令人满意的。
all is well that ends well all's well that ends well【谚】结局好,一切都好;有好结果,就算好事I'm sorry you had such difficulty in finding us, but all's well that ends well and now we can enjoy ourselves.很抱歉,让你好不容易才找着我们,但找着了就算好事,而今我们可以尽兴地玩啦。
语源出自莎士比亚的一个剧目(《终成眷属》)。
