go up in smoke: 化為烏有;被燒光。例如:When he crashed his car, all his travel plans went up in smoke. (他把汽車(chē)撞壞了,他的整個(gè)旅行計(jì)劃都吹了。)
a change of pace: 改變習(xí)慣、活動(dòng)方式以調(diào)劑一下;換換口味。
jovial: 熱情快活的,善良愉快的(尤指天生快樂(lè)的人)
tailor to: 根據(jù)……改變或調(diào)整。同義的表達(dá)還有accord with; account to; adapt; be favourable for等。
