【句子】So much for "Love Thy Neighbor". 【Desperate Housewives S2E6】

【发音技巧】暂无；

【翻译】所谓的“睦邻友好”也就到此为止了吧？

今天节目中，首先我们先说一下，关键句中出现的"Love Thy Neighbor"其实来自于Bible圣经。圣经里有一句："love thy neighbor as thyself."

这是古英语，这里的thy其实就是your的意思，然后thyself其实就是yourself；

所以圣经里这句话的意思是：“像爱你自己一样，爱你的邻居”。

今天视频中，我们来学习这样一个表达，so much for sth./sb.，表示“……也就这样了/到此为止了；不用再考虑某个人/某个事物了”

It is used to express disappointment and annoyance at the fact that a situation is not as you thought it was.

当情况不是你预想的那样，你可以说这样的句子来表示内心的失望和苦恼之情。

或者：there is no need to consider someone or something anymore

eg: The car's broken down again. So much for our trip to the seaside.

车又坏了。咱们的海滨之旅也就这么着了吧。

eg: Another tax increase. So much for all those election promises.

又要增加赋税。选举的时候说的那些承诺，也就如此了吧。

eg: So much for polite introductions. It's now time to get down to business.

礼貌的介绍差不多就到这吧，该是时候干正事了。

eg: A: "The mechanic said the entire engine needs to be replaced."

B: "Well, so much for our road trip."

A：“那位机械师说整个发动机都得换掉。”

B：“得，咱们的公路旅途也泡汤了。”

eg: It just started raining. So much for our picnic this afternoon.
