歡迎來到《一分鐘英語》欄目！
What was the band Queen singing about in this song?
皇后樂隊唱的這首歌是關于什么的呢？
This does not sound like something good happened. Let's listen:
這個聽起來不像是發生了什么好事。讓我們一起聽一下：
This old phone of mine will not turn on anymore.
我的這個舊手機再也開不了機了。
I think it's time to throw it out. Another cell phone bites the dust.
我想是時候扔掉了。又一臺手機徹底壞掉了。
I had to replace mine last month. My phone was just a year old when it bit the dust.
我的上個月也換了。才用了一年，我的手機就徹底壞掉了。
I think I dropped it too many times.
我想是我把它掉地上太多次了。
If an object bites the dust, it is beyond repair, and cannot be fixed.
如果某件東西bites the dust，意思就是不能修理了。
But the saying can also be used to describe a person's death, like in our song by Queen.
但這個表達也能用來形容一個人的死亡，就像皇后樂隊的歌寫得一樣。
But using the term bites the dust, about a real person's death is rude, or not nice.
但是用bites the dust這個短語形容一個人的死亡，這是粗魯、不禮貌的。
And that's English in a minute.
