描述忍受的英語語句口語

一

Speak of the devil. 說曹操，曹操到。

用法透視

本句是一句老話，但卻仍是常用的話。在講話中提到某人時，該人正好出現，這時就可以用這句話來歡迎他的出現，比單純的 How are you? 或 It's you. 好多了。

支持範例

1. Speak of the devil. We were just talking about you.

2. Talk of the devil!

A: I was just thinking about you the other day.

二

That's the last straw. 真是忍無可忍了。

用法透視：

這句話來源於一句諺語“最後一根稻草壓死一隻駱駝”，意指極限已到，表示忍無可忍。
