rub it in
Meaning: to do or say something intended to make one feel worse.
Example: I know I paid too much for the car; you don't have to rub it in. （ 我知道這車我買得太貴了，但你也沒必要刺激我嘛。）
這個(gè)習(xí)慣用語實(shí)際上是由rub salt in the wound 縮短而來，而中文里正好有個(gè)蠻對應(yīng)的說法，即：往傷口上撒鹽。另外，rub it in也可以表示向別人反復(fù)地講某件不太愉快的事，如： Father never failed to rub it in/into the family how much they depended on his money.
