歡迎來到《一分鐘英語》欄目！Straw is a dried stalk of grain.
稻草就是曬乾了的谷杆兒。So, why are Jonathan and Anna upset about a piece of straw?
那麼，爲什麼喬納森和安娜會爲稻草而沮喪呢？
Did you hear the latest changes for tonight's party?
你聽說今晚聚會的最新變動了嗎？What now?
現在聚會是什麼安排？We're not meeting at the restuarant at 7 but at Julie's house at 6.
我們不計劃7點在飯店見面了，而是改在了6點，在朱莉家見面。Okay.
好吧。And all the food is going to be vegetarian.
所有的食物都會是素食。That's the last straw. I'm just staying at home and watching TV tonight.
那我忍無可忍了。我計劃今晚待在家，看電視。"The last straw" is that last little difficulty, in a long series of difficulties, that makes you quit.
“忍無可忍”指最後一個困難，在很多困難中，這個困難讓你放棄了做某件事。This expression comes from an old story about a straw that broke a camel's back.
這個表達源自一個古老的故事，一根稻草壓垮了駱駝的背。A camel was carrying too much on its back.
一隻駱駝背上馱了很多東西。But the thing that finally broke it…was a single piece of straw.
可是最後壓垮駱駝的卻是一根稻草。And that's English in a Mintue!
以上就是今天的《一分鐘英語》！
