英語學(xué)習(xí)來不得半點馬虎，對于沒有掌握的語言知識點（language points）不能囫圇吞棗，敷衍了事，必須keep them straight. Keep straight最常用的意思是“直走”，多用在問路時的對話交談中，但是keep something straight可不是這個意思哦，先看看下面的句子。
When studying English, we have to keep language points straight, which is totally confusing us.
（當(dāng)學(xué)習(xí)英語時，對那些使我們迷惑的語言知識點必須搞清楚。）
這里片語keep something straight意思就是“把某事搞清楚”，也可以說成get something straight. If you keep（get） something straight, you make sure that you understand it properly, or that someone else does. For example:
The newspaper gave us a great deal of information about how to purchase a new house. We couldn't simple keep it all straight!
（這份報紙告訴了我們許多關(guān)于如何購買新房子的信息，我們簡直搞不清楚。）
許多事情我們預(yù)先是無法搞清楚的，這時，我們就需要作好最壞的打算。這里作最壞的打算可以用片語prepare someone for the worst來表示。
After interview, Mr. James Scott didn't think that he did well on it, so he prepared himself for the worst.
（面試后，James Scott先生認(rèn)為他表現(xiàn)得不好，所以他作好了最壞的打算。）
片語prepare someone for the worst意思就是指我們常說的“作最壞的打算”。If you decided to prepare yourself for the worst to something, you expected it very bad, and had no any hopes. Let's take a look at other examples:
Let us hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
（讓我們有的希望，作最壞的打算。）
After checking out for several times, the doctor confirmed that Bill had cancer, and the cancer had already spread throughout his body. Then the doctor told Bill's fiancée to prepare her for the worst.
（幾次檢查后，醫(yī)生證實Bill患上了癌癥，并且癌細(xì)胞已經(jīng)擴(kuò)散到了他的全身。接著醫(yī)生告訴Bill的家人作好最壞的打算。）
結(jié)束語：研究生入考試剛一結(jié)束，同學(xué)就告訴我說他搞不清楚（doesn't keep it straight）考試的結(jié)果會是什么樣的,我就告訴他凡事想開點，作好最壞的打算（prepare him for the worst），到時就不至于太難過的。
