本周地道英语 Taking it Too Far 太过头了

兵心

tina: today we’re going to learn about the expression: taking something too far.

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. thats taking it a bit far. because thats not dieting, thats 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, thats our real english phrase for this week, taking it too far.

helen: 意思就是做什么事情做过头了， 所以反而造成了负面的影响。
