cook是什么意思(记住：cook the books不是“煮书”)

cook the books实际含义是：to change numbers dishonestly in the accounts (= financial records) of an organization, especially in order to steal money from it

不诚实地更改一个组织的账目(如财务记录)上的数字，尤指为了偷钱

简言之，（尤指为了偷钱而）篡改账目。

book如果作单数，那是“书”的意思，而作为复数books，有“

the written records of money that a business has spent orreceived

（公司、商行的）账册，账簿”的意思。
