to pull out all the stops = 拼命地作事情
Example Conversation:
BOSS: John, you're not working hard enough. I want you to pull out all the stops.
JOHN: But Mr. Smith I am trying my hardest. I am already pulling out all the stops!
BOSS: Are you? Are you working overtime? No. Are you working on the weekends? No. Are you hiring temporary staff? No. OK then! So you are NOT pulling out all the stops! GET BUSY!
JOHN: Yes sir!
