Tips:
1.Prontissimo: Prontissimo is a kind of make-up word, coming from both Italian and English; sometimes people use it for fun. If we are in a hurry, we used to say hurry, or be quick please. If we don' t wanna be offensive or reveal our impatience, “prontissimo”, with no doubt, could be a good choice. prontissimo 实际上是一个半外来语，前部分来自印度语presto，意思是“快”。这个词来自印度的一种乐器，这种乐器要以特别快的速度来弹奏，最后人们就把prontissimo作为“快”的代名词了。
