无论工作、还是学习，最忌讳的便是“敷衍了事”。有人说，如果你用敷衍的态度对待生活，那生活同样会回报你一个敷衍的结果。
“敷衍了事”，中文熟语，指“对一件事情不认真，马马虎虎，草草了事（act in a perfunctory manner）”，“take a perfunctory attitude”意思是“采取敷衍的态度”。
“敷衍”也表示“偷懒，应付（to fail to work as hard or as well as you should）”，翻译为“lie down on the job”。
- 他敷衍了几句就走了。
He just made a few causal remarks before he left. - 敷衍地打招呼
Shuffle through the formal greetings - 敷衍的检讨
Perfunctory self-criticism - 对待工作我们不能敷衍。
We can't lie down on the job.
