essica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是Lulu要问的：抓狂。
Jessica: Morning Lulu!
Lulu: Jessica!! 我必须跟你说说，我都快气死了!
Jessica: 你怎么啦?
Lulu: 还不是我室友! 她特别不自觉，我所有的洗发水，擦脸油都随便用，还动不动就带男友回家! 我都快要抓狂了! 抓狂! scratch crazy!
Jessica: haha... 抓狂不是 scratch crazy, 你可以说，she's pushing me over the edge.
Lulu: over the edge?
Jessica: 对，edge is spelled e-d-g-e,edge 边缘。My roommate always brings her boyfriend over to our apartment. I feel like I'm living with a couple. It's really pushing me over the edge.
Lulu: push somebody over the edge, 就是使某人抓狂。这么说来，她可真是 push me over the edge! 昨天她又把男朋友带会公寓，我警告她说，这是最后一次了! 这又该怎么说呢?
Jessica: Oh, You can say: that's the final straw.
Lulu: final straw, 这个说法真形象! 好，我今天回去就再这么告诉她一次!
Jessica: You know what Lulu, my roommate is actually doing the same thing. She always uses my things, it's really annoying! You and I are in the same boat.
Lulu: in the same boat? 我们在一条船上? 哦我明白了，就是说我们处境相同，对不对?
Jessica: That's right! We both have annoying roommates-- we're in the same boat. Now, tell me what you've
learned1 today!
Lulu: 第一：使某人抓狂叫 push sb over the edge;
第二，警告说这是最后一次，可以讲 that's the final straw；
第三，处境相同，叫 in the same boat.
