pain in the neck

to have had it

今天Michael會(huì)教李華兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：pain in the neck和to have had it。

M: Hello? I'm sorry. I'm not interested. No. No thank you. Look, I said I am not interested!

L: Michael，是誰(shuí)打來(lái)的電話，讓你這么生氣??？

M: That was someone who wanted to sell me a magazine subscription over the phone. Those people are such a pain in the neck!

L: 嗯，我也不喜歡別人在電話里跟我推銷(xiāo)東西?？墒悄憬兴麄兪裁矗?span lang="EN-US">A pain in the neck？

M: That's right. Pain. A pain in the neck is something that is just very very annoying.

L: 噢，我明白了,“a pain in the neck”就是指討厭到了極點(diǎn)。

M: Exactly. I can't stand telemarketers. When I get home and finally sit down, they always call. What a pain!

L: 那是真的很討厭。哎,“a pain in the neck”是不是只能形容人呢？

M: Not always. Things or situations can be a "pain in the neck".

L: 噢, 所以，“a pain in the neck”還可以拿來(lái)指某樣?xùn)|西，或者是某種處境。那我可不可以說(shuō)“It is such a pain in the neck when the electricity goes out”?

M: You've got it! And it really was a pain in the neck, too! I couldn't do anything last week when we had the blackout. I couldn't cook, couldn't watch TV......

L: 哎喲，不能看電視算得上什么“pain in the neck”。那天我開(kāi)車(chē)回家，馬路上連紅綠燈都?jí)牧耍遣沤胁环奖隳亍?span lang="EN-US">

M: Yeah, well that's all over now. Oh man! It's my neighbor again! He always plays his drums in the evening. It's such a pain in the neck.

L: 原來(lái)是你的鄰居，他又在練習(xí)打鼓啊。唉，我也有個(gè)討厭的鄰居，她那只狗總是叫個(gè)不停，有時(shí)候晚上睡著了又給那狗吵醒了。真是個(gè)“pain in the neck”。

M: Yeah, well if it's that bad, why don't you ask your neighbor to do something about it.

L: 有啊。可是她不但不改，還和我們耍態(tài)度呢。這個(gè)人啊，也是個(gè)“pain in the neck”。

M: I guess the only thing worse than telemarketers are noisy neighbors.

******

M: I have had it! That guy has got to stop doing this.....I've got to call him.

L: 等等，Michael，你說(shuō)“I have had it”，那是什么意思?。?span lang="EN-US">

M: It means that I am so annoyed by something that I cannot stand it any longer.

L: 噢,“I have had it”就是你再也無(wú)法忍受了，是不是？

M: That's right. When we say "I have had it," we just mean that we have been dealing with the problem for a long time, and can't stand it any longer.

L: 哎，Michael，這次讓我來(lái)接。(Speaking to phone in English) Hello? No, sorry, I'm not interested. No, I'm not the lady of the house. Listen, we've had it with you telemarketers! Leave us alone!

M: Wow, looks like you learned this phrase quickly. Don't you think you were a bit rude with them?

L: 什么？你說(shuō)我粗魯？哎呀，我真是受不了你。你這個(gè)人啊，就是沒(méi)有魄力，什么事也做不成。你討厭誰(shuí)就直接告訴他嘛。還有啊，為什么你不敢理直氣壯告訴你的鄰居他打鼓的聲音太吵了。光坐在那兒抱怨有什么用嗎？

M: Alright then, I've really had it with my neighbor. I'm going to do something about it this time.

L: (Mocking tone of voice) 喲，Michael，這回來(lái)真的啦。你要做什么，打電話向你媽咪訴苦嗎？

M: I've had it with you too, Li Hua. You always laugh at me. You can be such a pain in the neck!

L: 哎呀，Michael，對(duì)不起嘛。我不是故意要?dú)饽愕睦?！不過(guò)你說(shuō)的也沒(méi)錯(cuò)，有的時(shí)候我還真的是“pain in the neck”。

M: No.....no. You're not really a pain in the neck. The noise is just making me crazy. I'm going to call that guy and tell him to stop.

今天李華學(xué)的兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)都和人的情緒有關(guān)，pain in the neck是討厭到了極點(diǎn)，to have had it是再也無(wú)法忍受下去了。
