tying up loose ends at
原句:Holiday preparations involve a series of mini stresses,like tying up loose ends at work,remembering to cancel the milk and newspapers,boarding the family pet,arranging foreign currency,last-miniute shopping,working out how much spending money to take,and worrying about securing the home against burglas.

tying up loose ends at
我同意一楼的说法,因为 "loose ends" 是指用绳子捆绑东西时,因为没有缚牢而松散的末端.所以,把这些 "loose ends" tie up,便含有 "把尚未处理好的事处理好" 的意思.而 "at work" 则是指 "在工作方面",所以 "tying up loose ends at work" 便是 "把工作上还未处理好的事处理好" 的意思,亦即是一楼所说的 "解决工作的手尾".
