make do
make do“将就使用;勉强凑合'。相当于make the old thing do。有人认为这个成语源于海军。每逢休息时,大家都缝补衣服,因而有了成语make do and mend(修补旧的东西将就过去,尽量利用原来的东西)。
to manage to live without things that you would like to have or with things of a worse quality than you would like
在条件不太好,或者不如你想要的那么好的条件下生活;凑合、将就
We didn't have cupboards so we made do with boxes.
我们没有橱柜,只好将就用箱子了。
