地道表达
Overkill
1. 解释
Overkill一词在美国是“多余”的意思。例如:跟一个老美打球,大了两局后她还要不要继续再打时,他可能会说:“That’s enough, anymore is just overkill.”或者是吃东西的时候,你问老美实在吃不了,他可能会说:“No, thanks. That is overkill”。
2. 例句
e.g. It was surely overkill to screen three interviews on the same subject in one evening.
一晚放映三个同一主题的访问记实, 真是小题大做。
e.g. Every time I switch on the TV, there's football. It's overkill.
我每次打开电视都是足球节目,真是受不了。
