[請益] work my ass for/set in place

[recary (recary)]

1.I work my ass off for five or six years to get a Ph.D.

  請問這裡的work my ass off該怎麼解釋呢？

  (我有查到work off，也有my ass，就是沒有work my ass off..)



2.Many wonder what will have to be done differently now that the

  "four-hour requirement" has been set in place.

  請問有set..in place的片語嗎？(我查不到這組片語，但最近的新聞很常看到

  這樣的寫法。)



Thanks :)

推 noruas:work my ass off 表示很累  my ass off是口語
→ dunchee:http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/work_1
→ dunchee:-> 30 ...
→ noruas:set...in place  讓某東西生效, 有點類似新制"上路"
→ dunchee:http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/place_1
→ dunchee:-> 8 ... 然後你自己加以延伸
