(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

我们可以用短语 a tall order 来比喻一件非常困难的或一项非常艰巨的任务。

例句

the client wants me to deliver the project by tomorrow. it's a tall order but i'll try.

what!? you want me to do the shopping, clean the flat, ¹ the lawn and prepare lunch all before your parents arrive at midday? that's a tall order!

i've done no preparation at all before tomorrow's exam. it's a tall order, but if i study all night i might pass.

请注意

不要把 a tall order 同 out of order 相混淆。后者的意思是做事没有章法引起讲话者的不满。

例句

i hate the way dave smokes in the same room as the kids. it's so out of order.
