Breakfast over, I gave the house a lick and a promise.

早餐后，我把屋子马马虎虎地整理了一下。

Hurry up, a lick and a promise will do because you had a bath only an hour ago.

快点，稍微洗一下就行了，你不是一小时前刚洗过了吗？

The children didn't cut the grass properly. All it got was a lick and a promise.

孩子们没有草割好，只是随便敷衍了一下。

We don't like to work on a group project with Joe because he always gives a lick and a promise.

我们不喜欢和乔一起做小组功课，因为他总是敷衍了事。
