  迷你对话

A: I am very sorry that I cannot go shopping with you, because I have to finish my report today.

非常抱歉,我不能和你一起去购物,因为我今天要完成我的报告。

B: Never mind. You have to break your neck.

没关系,你拼命地工作吧。

地道表达

break one’s neck

1. 解词释义

Break在这里是“折断”的意思,to break one’s neck 是夸张地说法。字面意思就是“弄断一个人的脖子”,引申为“尽最大努力去完成一项工作”,或者是“用最快的速度赶到一个地方去”。总之,就是指“拼命地干活”。这跟中文对话中的“You have to break you neck. ”的意思就是“你得拼命地做。

2. 典型范例

e.g. I was really up to my neck in work today, I couldn't get away from the office till six-thirty. So I had to break my neck to get to my sister's engagement 1 party at seven o'clock.

今天我工作忙的不得了,直到六点半我才能离开办公室。可是,我妹妹今天订婚,七点举行订婚仪式,还请了一些客人。所以我不得不拼了命用最快的速度赶去。

e.g. My parents agreed to pay my trip to Europe this summer only if I complete all my course work before the end of the semester 2. So now I'm breaking my neck to finish all the papers 3 I have to write.

我爸爸妈妈答应我,要是我在这学期结束前完成所有的作业,那末他们就给我钱让我今年暑假到欧洲去旅行。所以,我现在正在拼命地把我要写的学术报告写完。
