The While Nine Yards

含义：全力以赴，不遗余力。工作学习中经常可以用到的

词源：见 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Whole_Nine_Yards

例句：

A: I'm not sure if I still want to become a CA.
B: CA? That's not easy to get! So I guess you have to make up your mind right now; quit and forget about it, or go the whole nine yards to get it.
