***这个last straw我第一次接触是在大二的综英课上,清楚的记得是第一课里,说一个人去面试做老师什么的,遇到了一系列很恐怖的事情...最后发现真正对学校拥有实际管理权的居然是个女人...他很受不了,就说这个是the last straw...后来在听英语新闻的时候也经常遇到.
我又搜集了些资料,大家看看加深下印象.
"All these years I've tried to be a good wife, even though you're lazy, you drink too much and half of the time don't even have a steady job. But when I find out you are spending money on another woman, that's the last straw! I want you out of my house right now and I never want to see you again."
这些年来,尽管你很懒,喝酒过度,还经常没有固定的工作,但我一直尽力做一个贤惠的妻子.可是,当我发现你把钱化在另一个女人身上的时候,这就使我无法忍受了.你给我马上出去,我永远也不要再见到你了."
I put up with a lot from this guy. He borrowed my clothes, he borrowed my money, he borrowed my tennis racket. But when I caught him using my toothbrush that was the last straw, so I kicked him out!"
我对这个家伙够宽容的了.他借我的衣服穿,问我借钱,借用我的网球拍.可是,当我发现他用我的牙刷的时候,这就叫我无法忍受了.所以我把他赶了出去.
