lucy: this is a long expression. what does it mean? 这个表达的意思是什么呢？
tina: it means to overdo something, to do something in excess.
lucy: 做什么事情，做过头了，overdoing something.
tina: for example, you might be on a diet to lose weight, and you decide to eat only three pieces of fruit every day for a month. that's taking it a bit far. because that's not dieting, that's bad for your health.
lucy: ok, 什么事情如果是做过头了，那么反而会造成负面的影响。
tina: have a listen to this example.
example
a: you know mary is obsessed with recycling?
b: yeah, i know.
a: well, she told me that she’s going to tell people off who are using plastic cups at work.
b: no way, that’s taking it too far. she can’t do that.
helen: 为了环保，看来mary 会得罪不少同事。
john: mary may be taking it too far. well, that's our real english phrase for this week, taking it too far.
