1. You’re eating my heart out Zhang xueyou.

你跟張學友有一拼哪。

?eat one's heart out 有“傷心欲絕”的意思。

eat your heart out 后接一個名人的名字時，常常是開玩笑地說比其還要強，有得一拼。

("If someone says eat your heart out followed by the name of a famous person, they are joking that they are even better than that person")

而當后面接人名時，可以調(diào)侃地翻譯為“某某，你就羨慕嫉妒恨吧!”

有喜歡《Glee》的同學，或許會在S02E20中發(fā)現(xiàn)一句話 "Eat your heart out, Kate Middleton!"

6. Our relationship is on an even keel.

我們的關(guān)系很穩(wěn)定。

e.g. She does almost everything on an even keel. 她做起事來幾乎都是四平八穩(wěn)的。

7. Don’t flog a dead horse.

?flog a dead horse 做無用功，做徒勞無益的事
