That is the perfect image. Imagine the meeting is a box. You don't just throw the box out the door.Patrick: 没错！这是个完美的画面。想象会议是一个盒子。你不能直接把盒子扔出门外。Patrick: You put paper around it. You tie a nice ribbon. You make it tidy before you finish. That is "wrapping it up."Patrick: 你在它周围包上纸。系上一根漂亮的丝带。在结束前把它弄整齐。这就是 "wrapping it up"。Mandy: I like that. It means we finish neatly.
