轻松日记商务职场篇第155期:假期泡汤
Our vacation plan will go up in smoke.
我们的假期将要泡汤了。
go up in smoke直译过来就是：“像烟一样消失了”，这个短语的正确意思是：“某事被彻底破坏”。因此，当美国人说"Our vacation plan will go up in smoke."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"Our vacation plans may go up inflames."、"Our vacation plan will fall through."。

③I'm sorry to have let you down.
