"Close enough for government work" = Gần đủ cho công việc nhà nước/chính phủ -> Thực hiện/hoàn thành một việc tạm ổn, chỉ vừa hài lòng hoặc gần đầy đủ. "Government work" ở đây ngụ ý chất lượng công việc bình thường, không được quan tâm thực hiện hay không đáng tự hào lắm.
Ví dụ
Maybe legendary baseball manager Leo Durocher didn't exactly say, “Nice guys finish last,” but it was close enough for government work.
It's election as sham (giả). Remain would win with a plurality (phần đông), which is close enough for government work. Here the response wasn't a new election.
I blush (đỏ mặt vì thẹn) to disclose that the final tally appears to be 5,137, an error of 37 votes on my part, which should be “close enough for government work.
“The Pentagon’s basically saying that Microsoft’s cloud platform (nền tảng, mô hình đám mây) is just as good as Amazon’s, or at least close enough for government work” in awarding the company a $10 billion defense contract, CNBC’s Jim Cramer says.
