Up and at ’em! ==〉赶紧办吧！赶紧动手吧！赶紧加油啦！

我猜完整的句子原来是, “Get up and go out after them!” 起来吧！去追他们吧！但是现在他们有缩写的说法。 It probably comes from the longer sentence, “Get up and go out after them!” (’em是 them的缩写) 因为这句是独立的短语，所以them不指什么具体的人或东西。反而,them只指我们每天办的一般“事情.”

Remember: 别忘了，Up and at ’em! 这个说法算是口语化的句子。We use this expression in colloquial (informal) settings.

Let’s look at some example sentences: 我们来看用Up and at ’em! 的例句:

1.
