說(shuō)話(huà)要簡(jiǎn)潔哦，否則你可能會(huì)讓聽(tīng)著昏昏欲睡，覺(jué)得你很啰嗦哦。杭州優(yōu)朗國(guó)際英語(yǔ)的果果老師今天給大家?guī)?lái)一段對(duì)話(huà)，根據(jù)我前面的提示來(lái)猜猜看in a nutshell 的意思是什么。

How much longer will he go on?
The chairman never uses one word when he can use ten .
You've done what he can't do .

in a nutshell 的意思你猜出來(lái)了嗎？in a nutshell 的意思是概括地說(shuō)，簡(jiǎn)要地說(shuō)，表示用簡(jiǎn)單幾句話(huà)說(shuō)清楚自己的意思。
例句：

例句：
Brian was responsible ,in a manner of speaking ,because he first introduced Peter to Mary.
