Ben collect one's wits /collect oneself 鎮定下來, 恢復理智 I was really scared, but I knew I had to collect my wits first. 我真的嚇到了，但是我知道我必須先鎮定下來。 hump 駝峰 over the hump: past the most difficult part of something We've almost done. We finally got over the hump with three months of hard work. 我們幾乎快完成了。我們用了三個月的努力克服最難的一關。 Suggestion: You can not use "have" and "done" unless there is a direct object. Instead of done, use "finish." "We've almost finished." You could also write: "We're almost done." By putting the "with" preposition at the end of the final sentence, it seems like you are clarifying why, even after getting over the hump, you are not done/finished yet. It seems like the sentences are about to read like this: "We finally got over the hump with three months of hard work remaining." Instead, lead with the prepositional phrase. "With three months of hard work we finally got over the hump." The sentences are correct in-and-of themselves but, in composition, the sentence you lead with is where you want the reader to focus. Your leading sentence was about almost being done. So, naturally, the reader/listener exects you to explain that in the second sentence. If you led with finally getting done, then that is what the reader/listener understands to be the most important. If that is what you want to emphasize, I would construct the sentences like this: "We finally got over the hump after three months of hard work. We are almost done. A couple notes: 1) "After" may be a better preposition because you are using time "three months" and getting over the hump was the culmination of that hard work. 2) Contractions like "we're" is perfectly acceptable in speech, but unless you are quoting somebody's speech, it may be best to write out the two words. 3) These are more in-depth methods about using English. They are not necessary for communicating information but, like using idioms, they do help convey tone and emotion.
