⊙“Bob is your uncle”是什么意思？⊙
Bob's your uncle是一句很有名的British slang（英国俚语）。
相传英国历史上有一位保守党首相叫做Rober Cecil,在他任职期间，多次安排他自己的外甥任政府要职。他下台后，接任他的新首相也是他的这个外甥。
In 1887, British Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil appointed his nephew Arthur James Balfour as Minister for Ireland. The phrase 'Bob's your uncle' was coined when Arthur referred to the Prime Minister as 'Uncle Bob'. Apparently, it's very simple to become a minister when Bob's your uncle!
1887年，英国首相罗伯特·加斯科因-塞西尔任命他的侄子亚瑟·詹姆斯·巴尔弗为爱尔兰事务大臣。“鲍勃是你的叔叔”这个短语是亚瑟称呼首相为“鲍勃叔叔”时创造出来的。显然，当鲍勃是你的叔叔时，成为首相也是非常简单的!
此后，Bob is your uncle就用来形容"易如反掌；很轻易就能做到的事情；这就行了"。
This expression is mainly used in Britain. It is often used immediately after a set of simple instructions and roughly means the same as '... and it's as simple as that!'
这种表达方式主要在英国使用。它通常在一组简单的指示之后立即使用，大致意思与“……就这么简单!”
有些老外会在Bob's your uncle后面接上and Fanny is your aunt，形成一个对仗，以表示幽默。当然，能不能get到这种幽默就因人而异了。
例句：
▷Don’t worry about the computer. You just change the keyboard and it should work fine. Bob’s your uncle!
别担心你的电脑了，只要把键盘换掉应该就会好了，很简单的！
▷Press here and Bob's your uncle! It's disappeared.
按一下这里就成了！消失了。
▷In that event, Bob's your uncle, and life is rosy.
在这种情况下，鲍勃是你的叔叔，生活是美好的。
