Tip of today-A Piece of Cake 蛋糕我爱吃

A piece of cake。Piece 是指一事情很容易。有人长时间犹豫之后终于鼓足勇气
向老板提出增加工资。他本以为大费周章。可是，老板马上同意了，于是他对太太
好："Honey, I finally asked Old Man Jones for my raise. And it was a
piece of cake!"  “亲爱的，我终于对老琼斯提了要求增加工资的事。他一口答
应了。”

又如：二战时一个盟军说："At the briefing before we took off to bomb the
Germans, our commander told us it would probably be a tough flight. But
it turned out to be a piece of cake: no anti-aircraft fire and no enemy
fighters." “在我们起飞去轰炸德国人之前的短会上，司令官告诉我们这次飞行
任务可能很艰巨。但是，结果倒是非常容易，既没有高射炮火，也没有敌机。”
