This hospital appointment on the 15th has thrown a real spanner in the works for our holiday well have to come back early.

　　Helen: 原来 a spanner in the works 是一个比喻，用来形容什么事情出问题了或者是变得更复杂了。The boss said that someone had thrown a spanner in the works of our project

　　Jen: He means that something has happened that will make the project more complicated. Perhaps you should talk to him to find out what the problem is before you start taking the building to pieces!

　　Helen: Youre right. 我得要把这里收拾干净了。糟糕!I cant remember where all the pipes go!

　　Jen: Oh no! Well lets just try and fit them in as best we can.

　　V/O: Some time later

　　Jen: Well the pipes are all in, but nothings working. Were going to be in so much trouble.

　　Helen: Were not defeated yet. 靠后站!

　　Jen: Helen what are you doing with that huge spanner.

　　Helen: Im throwing it into the works

　　Helen: 我成功了! I did it!

　　Jen: You did! With a real life spanner in the works!
