地道美语听力练习:遭遇歧视

Idioms: add insult to injury

to make a bad situation worse; to hurt the feelings of a person who has already been hurt.
伤害之外又加污辱；雪上加霜；更糟的是

Usage note: 这则习语出自古罗马费德鲁斯（Phaedrus）根据《伊索寓言》写的一则故事：有个秃子一巴掌向停在他头上的苍蝇打去，可苍蝇飞走了，那巴掌就打在秃子自己头上。苍蝇嘲笑说：“刚才碰你一下，你就要杀我；现在你不但挨了痛，还受了辱，该拿自己怎么样呢（What will you do to yourself since you have added insult to injury)?”人们就用add insult to injury来表示“雪上加霜”或“更糟的是”，相当于汉语成语“落井下石”。

Example:
1. First, the basement flooded, and then, to add insult to injury, a pipe burst in the kitchen.

2. My car barely started this morning, and to add insult to injury, I got a flat tire in the driveway.
