美国人每天说的街头惯用语Unit 5-1 “把我吃穷了!”的俚语地道说法

Jim is having trouble with his house guest.

吉姆的房客給他添了麻烦

Emily:Are things still going badly with your house guest?

埃米莉:你那位房客还在给你添麻烦吗?

Jim:It's getting worse. Now he’s eating me out of house and home. I've tried talking to him but it all goes in one ear and out the other. He makes himself at home which is fine. But what really gets me is that yesterday he walked into the living room in the raw and I had company over! That was the last straw.

吉姆:越来越不像话了.照这样下去他会把我家给吃穷的. 我已试着找他谈过,但是他把我的话当作耳边风. 他就像住在自己家里一样随便,这倒没什么.但昨 天他竟然一丝不挂走进了起居室,这件事使我大为 恼火,因为我当时正在会客.我实在受不了了.

Emily: Jim, I really think you’re beating around the bush with this guy. I know he used to be your best friend in college, but I really think it’s time to lay down the law.

埃米莉:吉姆,我真的觉得你对这家伙太客气了.我知道 他是你读大学时的好朋友,但我确实认为你也该给 他立下几条规矩.

Jim:You’re right. Everything is probably going to come to a head tonight. I'll keep you posted?

吉姆:你说得对.也许一切都将在今晚了结.我会随时 把情况告诉你.
