Ryan’s Phrase Of The Day: Ramp Up (verb)

Meaning: Make sth tighter

, do sth more seriously

Example (1): “The United Kingdom should have ramped up the restrictions weeks ago to ensure we don’t suffer the same fate as Italy. Unfortunately it looks like we waited too long and the next month could be a disaster.”

Example (2): “After terrorist attacks it’s normal for airports, cities and public areas to ramp up security. It’s a shame they weren’t ramped up in the first place!”

See ya!

    希望你最近没有和他有接触,要小心些,英国现在很可能已经有社区感染了。保护好自己和家人吧,别大意了。母亲节快来!❤
