把「cook the book」和「做假帳」對應起來簡直是在為難我，但小夥伴們，它就是這個意思喲！
我們現在所理解的「cook」最早可追溯到14世紀，源於拉丁詞彙coquus。到了17世紀，cook在俚語中指「篡改、作假」，語言學家認為，這層含義與烹飪意義上的「精心準備」是息息相關的。此外，「cook the books」也可寫做「cook the accounts」。
感覺它有些難理解，那麼例句安排上！
[例句]
1.ROA is a good measure for the economic profitability of a firm and it is difficult to cook their book for three consecutive years.
總資產回報率是一個不錯的衡量公司盈利水平的指標，而通過做假帳連續三年達到這個目標還是有些難度的。
2.Although my friend was usually honest, he decided to cook the books.
儘管朋友一向誠實，但他還是決定在帳目上做一些手腳。
「by the book」所表達的意思是「按規章辦事」，看4個例句看看它該如何運用吧！
[例句]
1.I was horrified one day to receive a customer service call from a customer who had done everything right, and exactly by the book.

judge a book by its cover

短語「a closed book」可不僅僅是「合上的書」的意思，還表達「已經完結的事，高深莫測的事」，那麼，相對應而言，「an open book」就是「一目了然的人或事」，你get了嗎？
