[04-20] 英语每日一两句 ---- straw
The straw that breaks the camel's back - the problem that made you lose your temper or the problem that finally brought about the collapse of something.
Example:
Losing my job was bad enough but having the relationship end like that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

When you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.
Example:
"You have been rude to me all day. I've had it. That's the last straw!"
