在看Kristy's Great Idea:

I thought about Sam. Now, he is pretty goodlooking with dark curly hair and sparkly blue eyes and a few freckles, but he was wearing jeans so ratty he’d once promised Mom he’d throw them away (but then hadn’t been able to go through with it), and a T-shirt that said: I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I? To top it off, he was mad.

请教but then hadn’t been able to go through with it是不是“此时还没来得及扔”的意思?
Q2. 请教To top it off是什么意思?

Q1.     go through with : do what is necessary to complete or take ;(----oxford learner's dictionary)

这儿联系上文的throw them away, 翻译成" 还没扔,还没来得及扔",应该没什么问题吧。

Q 2.    to top it off :  通常有几个意思: 1. best of all  最妙的是
                                                                         2. worst of all 最糟糕的是;
                                                                         3 .更有甚者;
                如果下文是写他如何mad,我想应该第三个意思更为贴切。

哦,go through with it也不完全是没来得及扔的意思。。你看一下上下文,这段话是说,Sam是个长得挺好看的男孩儿,不过他穿着上特邋遢,他的牛仔裤穿破了都不扔,呵呵,国外很多孩子是这样的,裤子就喜欢一条,天天穿,尤其是teenage的孩子,有点怪癖一样,Sam正是这样的,所以他虽然答应了妈妈要扔那条裤子,但他心里还是过不去,他也就不扔。。所以是拖着不扔。

To top it off,就是总而言之的意思啦。
