老板突然来一句：
OK, everyone, let's wrap it up for tonight.
旁边的同事愣了一下，“怎么着，讲完了还有礼物送给大家？”
我笑着回答他 :"想啥美事儿呢，刚才人家不是叫你打包礼品再走，而是说 '好了，各位，今晚就到这里吧。’"
原来，这是老外们经常用的一句口语，that's a wrap 或 it's a wrap 就是用来表示某事完成、到此为止或结束。（Used to indicate that something is finished or concluded. ）也就是我们平时常说的“完事儿、收工了”的意思。
话不多说，先来看几个例子吧。
• OK, everyone, that's a wrap! Great work.
好了，大家，到此为止 ! 干得好。
• Thank you everyone for coming to the meeting. That's a wrap!
感谢各位出席今天的会议。散会！
