autograph n. [ C ](名人的)親筆簽名。= a signature, especially of a famous person
補(bǔ)充autograph v. [ T ]在...上親筆簽名。= to write your signature。場景句Could you autograph your book for me, please?能否幫我在您寫的書上簽名?
【例句】

【翻譯】等進(jìn)賬了,拜托你狠狠炒了我們,使勁炒。
【場景】Caroline對Han回復(fù)說,大概因?yàn)樗齻円幸还P數(shù)額大的錢進(jìn)賬外加一部屬于自己的電影,讓Han有些吃醋了吧。Max補(bǔ)充,如果談及失業(yè),現(xiàn)在還不能炒了她們,等錢到了再說。
【講解】
by all means (表示許可)好的,當(dāng)然可以。= used to give permission
