第二、 对话精讲
1. 地道表达
核心短语】water over the dam
解词释义】dam一词表示“堤坝,水库”。此语的字面意思是“水漫过了堤坝”,比喻“不可改变的过去”“不可改变的既成事实”等。
例句-1】Don't worry about it. It's water over the dam. Just be sure you don't make the same mistake 5 again.
别烦恼,这件事情木已成舟,只要注意不再犯同样的错误就行了。
例句-2】 Let's forget about it, it's all water over the dam.
忘了那件事吧,这已经无法挽回了。
