用at full stretch表达“全力以赴”

如果你工作的时候 at full stretch， 那意思就是你在全力以赴抓紧时间干活儿。

• The harsh weather conditions caused several accidents early this week and the emergency services were at full stretch.
• When the factory works at full stretch it can produce 100 cars a day.

值得注意的是，短语 a long stretch 用来谈论很长一段时间做同一件事情。这个短语也常用来描述某人在监狱长期服刑。

• John drives his Ferrari like a madman. His carelessness might cause an accident and earn him a long stretch in jail.
