大家都知道,wash就是洗東西的"洗"。但是,all washed up的意思是徹底完蛋,和干凈不干凈毫無關(guān)系。下面這位女士在和她妹妹說一個他們都認識的朋友:
Did you hear that Gloria's marriage is all washed up? She found her husband was seeing another woman, so she packed up, took the kids and moved out. Now she's suing for divorce.
她說:你聽說了沒有,格洛里亞發(fā)現(xiàn)她的丈夫有外遇,因此她收拾起自己的東西,帶著孩子搬出去了?,F(xiàn)在,她向法院提出要離婚呢!
下面這個例子是關(guān)于一個染上惡習、到最后破壞自己生活的人:
That man over there used to be one of the best players in baseball. But then he started drinking, turned into an alcoholic, and just two years later he was all washed up.
這句話的意思是:那邊那個人以前是的棒球運動員之一。但是,后來他開始喝酒,逐漸酗酒成習。這樣,只過了兩年,他的棒球生涯也就完蛋了。
