A summary of something is a short account of it, which gives the main points but not the details.

e.g. Here's a summary of the day's news...
下面是今日新闻简报。
2. 从速的;即决的;草草的
Summary actions are done without delay, often when something else should have been done first or done instead.

那上面称酷刑和草草处决很常见。
e.g. There is no doubt that some considered that a beating was no more than summary justice...
毫无疑问，有人认为拷打比草菅人命好不到哪去。
