Jessica在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是Lulu要問的：抓狂。
Jessica:Morning Lulu!
Lulu:Jessica!! 我必須跟你說說，我都快氣死了!
Jessica:你怎么啦?
Lulu:還不是我室友! 她特別不自覺，我所有的洗發水，擦臉油都隨便用，還動不動就帶男友回家! 我都快要抓狂了! 抓狂! scratch crazy!
Jessica:haha... 抓狂不是 scratch crazy, 你可以說，she's pushing me over the edge.
Lulu:over the edge?
Jessica:對，edge is spelled e-d-g-e,edge 邊緣。My roommate always brings her boyfriend over to our apartment. I feel like I'm living with a couple. It's really pushing me over the edge.
Lulu:push somebody over the edge, 就是使某人抓狂。這么說來，她可真是 push me over the edge! 昨天她又把男朋友帶會公寓，我警告她說，這是最后一次了! 這又該怎么說呢?
Jessica:Oh, You can say:that's the final straw.
Lulu:final straw, 這個說法真形象! 好，我今天回去就再這么告訴她一次!
Jessica:You know what Lulu, my roommate is actually doing the same thing. She always uses my things, it's really annoying! You and I are in the same boat.
Lulu:in the same boat? 我們在一條船上? 哦我明白了，就是說我們處境相同，對不對?
Jessica:That's right! We both have annoying roommates-- we're in the same boat. Now, tell me what you've learned today!
Lulu:第一：使某人抓狂叫 push sb over the edge; 第二，警告說這是最后一次，可以講 that's the final straw；第三，處境相同，叫 in the same boat.
