在下面这个例子里,一个怕冷的人想换个工作,搬到温暖的地方去,可是走之前,他有很多事情需要处理。
例句-1:My job interview went so well that I was offered the job in Arizona. I would love to move away from the long cold winter weather here in New York. But it's not that easy. To begin with, I'd have to get out of my contract with my company, and then sell my condo. It's only after I square those away that I can focus on relocating.
例句-2:Take my advice. Don't wait until you're old to organize your will. What if something tragic happened, such as a fatal accident? Without a legal document to explain your wishes after you die, your loved ones could suffer unnecessarily. Make sure your plans are squared away.
