如果身边的人不停地做一些烦人的事,我们会对他们说一句:“适可而止吧”。那么问题来了,你知道“适可而止”用英语该怎么说吗?
正确的说法是:
enough is enough.
一起来看两个例句:
I've heard all the complaining from you that I can take. Enough is enough!Enough is enough. I don't want to argue with you any more.
和“适可而止”相近的还有一个表达叫做“见好就收”,那么这个表达用英语又该怎么说呢?
正确的表达是:
stop/quit while someone is ahead.
我们来看两个例句:
I made a bit of a profit mining dogecoins, so I decided to quit while I was ahead.我挖***赚了一些钱,所以我决定见好就收,不再玩下去了。You've already made a good profit from the share market, so why don't you sell your shares and quit while you're ahead.你已经在股票市场上赚了一大笔钱,为什么不卖掉你的股票,见好就收呢?在美剧《破产姐妹》中,Caroline劝Max收手时就用到了这个表达:Caroline: Max, maybe we should quit while we're ahead since we've never been before.-麦克斯,或许我们该见好就收,毕竟咱们从来没"好"过。
