3、接下来我给大家一段对话，加深对这个短语的理解。Two colleagues are talking ...Colleague 1: How is the new sales campaign going?Colleague 2:The campaign is productive but not as good as we'd like. The goal for the first month was to sell one hundred thousand units and we sold ninety-five thousand.Colleague 1:So salesfell shortby five thousand units. That's only five thousand short.That's pretty good.

4、当然这个短语和其他的一样，在欧美电影电视剧中经常出现，像在《摩登家庭》里面，这个短语多次出现过。我截了图，大家了解下。

5、最后是这个词组在日常口语中用的非常的频繁与广泛。希望同学们能多学多用，最好给记在笔记本上。好了就到这里，同学们学会了吗
