言简意赅---short and sweet

大家好，欢迎来到爱德华国际英语。今天我们来看一个表达——short and sweet。这是什么意思呢？“又短又甜”么？可不要望文生义，short and sweet是“言简意赅”的意思。我们来听一下例句：

I got a letter yesterday from my son at college. It was certainly short and sweet. All it said was "Dear Dad, please send me a hundred dollars right away. Love, your son, Mike."
我昨天收到儿子从大学寄来的一封信。这封信可真是言简意赅，全部内容就是：亲爱的爸爸，请马上给我寄一百块美元。你们的儿子，麦克。

这封信听起来可真是够言简意赅的，只不过当父亲的可就有些伤心了。Alright, this is the end of today's program. Let's make it short and sweet. See you next time!
