我们先来看一段对话:
A:You must have had a good time in the countryside, I think.(我想你在乡下一定玩得很开心。)
B: We didn't go there.(我们没去乡下。)
A: Why?(为什么?)
B: Because of the bad weather, our travel plans came to nothing.(因为天气不好,我们的旅行计划不了了之了。)
在这里come to nothing 就是不了了之的意思。同时come to nothing 还可以翻译成没有结果了,失败、落空等意思。
比如 : My plan came to nothing because I didn't have enough money. (因为没有足够多的钱,我的计划落空了)
Wait and see. Your plan will come to nothing. (等着瞧吧,你的计划会落空。)
