支持范例：
Eg.Her tenant left, bag and baggage, without paying the rent.
她的房客未付房租就帶著全部財(cái)物離去了.
Eg.Last week he cleared out bag and baggage;the room is now quite empty.
上周他把所有東西都搬走了，那房子如今空空如也。
Eg.The house was vacated bag and baggage in a matter of hours.
這幢房子在幾個(gè)小時(shí)里就全部騰出來了。
Eg.All right, if you won't pay the rent, out with you, bag and baggage!
好吧，要是你不付房租，就收拾起你的東西滾吧!
