<p>美国习惯用语-第122讲:<span word="the">the</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="straw">straw</span>/<span word="to">to</span> <span word="sow">sow</span> <span word="one">one</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="wild">wild</span> <span word="oats">oats</span></p><p>我们曾经在[美国习惯用语]节目中讲过由<span word="hay">hay</span>这个字组成的常用语，今天我们要给大家介绍两个和<span word="straw">straw</span>这个字有关的俗语。 <span word="Hay">Hay</span>和<span word="straw">straw</span>都可以解释为草。但是，它们之间是有区别的。<span word="Hay">Hay</span>是专门为做饲料而种的草，而<span word="straw">straw</span>就是一般的稻草。美国农民有时也用稻草喂牲口，但是总比不上饲料那末好。</p><p>大家都知道，骆驼是非常强壮的动物，一般来说，一只骆驼可以驮五百公斤重的东西。但是，要是你不断往它背上加东西的话，这只骆驼到了一定程度就会达到它所能承受的饱和点，那怕再多加一根稻草也会使它承受不了而垮台。这就是我们今天要给大家介绍的第一个俗语：<span word="the">the</span> <span word="straw">straw</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="breaks">breaks</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="camel">camel</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="back">back</span>。<span word="The">The</span> <span word="straw">straw</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="breaks">breaks</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="camel">camel</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="back">back</span>，意思就是：那根压断了骆驼背的稻草。现在，人们经常把它简化为:<span word="the">the</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="straw">straw</span>。我们来举一个例子。这是一个非常生气的妻子在对她的丈夫说话：</p><p>例句-1: "<span word="All">All</span> <span word="these">these</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="I">I</span>\'<span word="ve">ve</span> <span word="tried">tried</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="good">good</span> <span word="wife">wife</span>, <span word="even">even</span> <span word="though">though</span> <span word="you">you</span>\'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="lazy">lazy</span>, <span word="you">you</span> <span word="drink">drink</span> <span word="too">too</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="half">half</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="time">time</span> <span word="don">don</span>\'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="even">even</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="steady">steady</span> <span word="job">job</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="find">find</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="spending">spending</span> <span word="money">money</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="another">another</span> <span word="woman">woman</span>, <span word="that">that</span>\'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="straw">straw</span>! <span word="I">I</span> <span word="want">want</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="house">house</span> <span word="right">right</span> <span word="now">now</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="want">want</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="see">see</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="again">again</span>."</p><p>这位太太说："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。"</p>
