cook up
1. 解词释义
Cook up的本意为“烹调，烹饪”。例如： Hot food is available, though the prisoners have to cook it up themselves. （可以吃到热饭热菜，不过犯人们必须自己煮。）在此，引申为为“伪造，编造”之意，相当于“make something up”。 此外，它还可以表示“策划，谋划”的意思。例如：He must have cooked up his scheme on the spur of the moment.（他肯定是一时冲动策划了这个阴谋。）
2. 拓展范例
e.g. She'll cook up a convincing explanation.
她会编造一个很有说服力的解释。
e.g. You put me on the spot, I have to cook up a story this time.
你把我拖下水, 这回我要找借口了。
e.g. You just show me any one of their telegrams that they didn't cook up out of their own heads!
请问他们那些电报哪一条不是肚子里造出来的！
e.g. They are trying to cook up an excuse to implement their proposal.
他们正在努力编造一个理由好实行他们的计划。
