最後一根稻草
The straw that breaks thecamel's back。人們經常把它簡化為:the last straw。我們來舉一個例子。這是一個非常生氣的妻子在對她的丈夫說話:
All these years I've tried to be a good wife, eventhough you're lazy, you drink too much and half ofthe time don't even have a steady job. But when Ifind out you are spending money on another woman, that’s the last straw! I want you out of myhouse right now and I never want to see you again.
這些年來,儘管你很懶,喝個沒完,還經常沒有固定工作,但我一直盡力做一個賢惠的妻子。可是,當我發現你把錢花在另一個女人身上,這就使我無法忍受了。你給我馬上出去,我永遠也不要見到你了。
有的人聽了這句話可能會對這位太太說“你早該如此啦!”
讓人無法忍受的事情有大有小。下面是一個學生在說為什麼他把和他同屋住的同學趕了出去:
I put up with a lot from this guy. He borrowed my clothes, he borrowed my money, heborrowed my tennis racket. But when I caught him using my toothbrush that was the laststraw, so I kicked him out!
我對這個傢伙夠寬容的了。他借我的衣服穿,問我借錢,借用我的網球拍。可是,當我發現他用我的牙刷的時候,這就叫我無法忍受了。所以我把他趕了出去。
