Hello guys!

 

No post de hoje, temos mais uma expressão bem interessante, arregaçar as mangas, que significa que é para nos prepararmos para fazer algo ou para o trabalho duro, mas você sabe como dizer esta expressão em inglês?

 

arregaçar as mangas

 

to do or get ready to do something difficult, intense, or demanding. Literally rolling up one’s sleeves is often done before performing some kind of work; to prepare for hard work:

 

» Frases de exemplos:

 

– There’s a lot of work to do, so roll up your sleeves and get busy.
