cry over spilled milk 直译为“为打翻的牛奶流泪”，这个短语正确的意思是：覆水难收，为做错事或过去的失败而感到沮丧。因此当美国人说:"Don't cry over spilled milk."时候，他要表达的意思就是："What's done is done and cannot be undone","It is useless to feel chagrined 1 at something that has already happened."
情景对白：
Shirley: Ben, I feel miserable 2. My boss fired me this morning.
雪莉： 本，我好难过。今天早上老板炒我鱿鱼了。
Benjamin:Don't cry over spilled milk, honey!I'm always on your side.
本杰明：亲爱的，过去的事就让它过去吧，别难过了！我会永远支持你的。
搭配句积累：
①The company I applied 3 for last week didn't employ me.
我上周申请的那家公司没有雇用我。
② I lost my job yesterday.
我昨天丢了工作。
③ Due to my mistake, the company has suffered huge losses, so I have to quit.
由于我的失误，公司损失惨重，所以我只好辞职。
④ The manager scolded me for my low work efficiency and fired me.
