(单词翻译)

   cry over spilled milk 直译为“为打翻的牛奶流泪”,这个短语正确的意思是:覆水难收,为做错事或过去的失败而感到沮丧。因此当美国人说:"Don't cry over spilled milk."时候,他要表达的意思就是:"What's done is done and cannot be undone","It is useless to feel chagrined1 at something that has already happened."

  情景对白:
  Shirley: Ben, I feel miserable2. My boss fired me this morning.
  雪莉: 本,我好难过。今天早上老板炒我鱿鱼了。
  Benjamin:Don't cry over spilled milk, honey!I'm always on your side.
  本杰明:亲爱的,过去的事就让它过去吧,别难过了!我会永远支持你的。
  搭配句积累:
  ①The company I applied3 for last week didn't employ me.
  我上周申请的那家公司没有雇用我。
  ② I lost my job yesterday.
  我昨天丢了工作。
  ③ Due to my mistake, the company has suffered huge losses, so I have to quit.
  由于我的失误,公司损失惨重,所以我只好辞职。
  ④ The manager scolded me for my low work efficiency and fired me.
  经理把我臭骂一顿,说我工作效率低,把我开除了。
  生词:
  spill vt. 洒,溢出
