💡专业提示

如何正确使用

‘last straw’通常用于描述累积的压力或问题的最后一个因素,导致某人或某事无法继续。例如:After years of stress and overwork, the last straw was when she was passed over for promotion(在经历多年压力和过度工作后,当她被忽略晋升时,这成了最后一击)。

⚡黄金法则

避免字面误解

‘last straw’不是指字面意义上的‘最后一根稻草’或‘最后一杯水’,而是比喻累积的压力或问题的最后一个因素。例如:The team had many setbacks, but the last straw was the funding cut(团队经历了许多挫折,但资金削减成了最后一击)。

📖词源

源自英语谚语‘It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back’(压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草)。该谚语最早见于18世纪,比喻微小的额外压力(如最后一根稻草)会导致整个系统(如骆驼)崩溃。

📝用法说明

1. 通常用于负面语境,指导致事情彻底失败或关系破裂的最后因素。 2. 不要与字面意思混淆,如‘最后一根稻草’或‘最后一杯水’。 3. 在正式写作中,可用‘final straw’或‘tipping point’替代。
