[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!"
