例句-1:As soon as I opened the front door, the doorknob came off in my hand. And it got worse! The more I walked around and looked, the more I realized what a poor, slapdash job the builders had done.
这段话里的slapdash是修饰job这个名词的形容词,但是slapdash也可以当名词或者动词用。例如这个验收房子的人可以这样说那些建筑工人:The builders had done the job with slapdash.或者The builders slapdashed through the job. 这两句话的意思都是“建筑工人马虎了事”。
例句-2:The little speech Lincoln slapped together was no more than three minutes long. But even today many Americans know it by heart, and it still echoes in the heart of the nation.
