例句:“When my father was rushed to the hospital, the head nurse cut through all the red tape so that he could get to see a doctor immediately.”(当我父亲被紧急送到医院抢救时,护士长简化了所有繁琐程序,让他能马上接受医生检查。)
See red,意指火冒三丈

例句: “My mother sees red when I come home late.”(如果我回家太晚,我妈妈就会火冒三丈。)

It is a great pleasure to join you at the 2026 China–California Business Forum. California has long been a frontier in American history. It is also at the frontier of subnational cooperation between China and the United States.
