事情的进展

As Gracián has so aptly pointed out in his Oráculo Manual:"Some people spend all at the start and finish nothing; they invent but do not progress; everything stops short of completion… The discerning should kill the prey, not spend all of his energy provoking it."

他说：&我们正在取得进展，而且我们能成功推行新策略，半途而废进行阻挠，并宣布撤兵，是我所见到的最令人感到耻辱的事情。&

Iam longingto hear how our affairs are progressing. I do hope you are not overtaxing yourself with all the business that there is to do.

我想知道我们的事情进展如何，真希望你不要给自己负担过重。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.
