Bieber 答:

I think,

my wife did up my house really nicely.

It was like this really romantic night.

(不想給懶租翻譯)

??拓展知識點

my wife did up my house

中 「do up」啥意思？

??

我美國朋友 (eigenboi) 告訴俺：

"Did up" means

dressing up or making fancy!

我說:

Can I say

「I spent a whole day

doing up my room, making it neat」？

他說:

Yeah, that sounds super natural!!

??

美國朋友 (General_Insano) 補充到：

Yes, but keep in mind

that this is slang not formal speech.

Also keep in mind that

some people might not understand the slang.

(其實在影視劇中非常不常見)

tidy up → 整理整理

??舉個例子

Just trying to tidy up the place.

Go back to sleep.

所以 up 這個介詞多神奇

由于某個我以前制作過的“___花”視頻

我現(xiàn)在聽到 「up my」就立刻想到

「up my ass」

良凌羅人間大愛聯(lián)想記憶法:

up → 上面 → 頂著 ??

ass → 泛指整個人
