The long and short of it 概括地說
例句
-Do you know why John left our company?

-It’s a complicated story but the long and short of it is that he transferred a large sum of money wrongly.
這事很複雜，但大概說來，他錯轉了一大筆資金。
Have seen better days 有過好日子
例句
-Why do you think Mrs. Thomas married Mr. Thomas? He’s short, skinny and ugly.
你猜托馬斯太太為甚麼要嫁給托馬斯先生？他又矮、又瘦、又醜。
-He’s certainly very poor now, but I think he’s seen better days.
他現在確實很窮，可我想他還是有過好時光吧。
為甚麼這麼說？
Girl Friday
忠實可靠（不可或缺）的婦女助理
Girl Friday出自《魯賓遜漂流記》中一個名為Friday（星期五）的忠心耿耿的僕人。後來有人開始以man/boy Friday稱呼如「星期五」般忠心的男傭人。
成語巧說
A bad bush is better than an open field.
有勝於無。
