经典语句
You 're on your last leg! 你快要崩溃了!
喷倒老美
Jenny刚丢了钱包,今天又在公司和老板炒了起来,她成了火药桶,朋友们都不敢惹她。见到她这种状态,好友劝说道:“You ‘re on your last leg! You should calm down.”Jenny听完一头雾水,说道:“I only have two legs. Where is my last leg?”
想聊就聊
Jenny: Oh, my God!I feel nothing is going smooth.
詹妮:天哪!我感觉诸事不顺。
Bill: Take it easy. It’s no good worrying. You were on your last leg if you keep worrying in this way.
比尔:放轻松些,担心是没有用的。你再这样下去会发疯的。
知识点津
on one’s last leg指“腿已经不能再动”,也就是“腿的机能已经达到最后限度”,引申为“筋疲力尽,几乎崩溃”的意思。
