Question

ESLPod_0840_WE_1354 Translating a Document The phrase "slow going," in this podcast, means to move with very slow progress, not advancing very quickly, and taking a lot of time: "They're trying to teach Eliseo to sew, but it's slow going." The phrase "while the going's good" means that one should try to do something now, before it becomes more difficult or challenging: "There's supposed to be a storm later this afternoon, so let's try to climb the mountain while the going's good." Finally, the phrase "when the going gets tough, the tough get going," means that people who are very determined will work very hard to do something when it becomes difficult and other people would probably give up: "Eli succeeded when everyone else said it was impossible. I guess it's true that when the going gets tough, the tough get going."
