　　Sometimes studying another language is really hard. We wish we could just get it over with and speak the language well. That is today’s expression¹ to get something over with. We usually use this expression when we have an obligation² to do something that we don’t want to do. We use the examples of homework and cleaning toilets!

 

1 expression

参考例句：

• He looked at me without expression.他毫无表情地看着我。
• Her face was without expression.她的脸上没有表情。

2 obligation

• Every player is under an obligation to keep the rules.每个选手都必须遵守这些规则。
