第一,迷你对话

A: I am exhausted these days.

这些天,我都快累死了。

B: What are you doing?

你在做什么?

A: I broke my neck in preparing for the final exams. Sometimes I had to burn the midnight oil.

我在拼命复习,准备期末考试。有时候还得熬夜。

B: If you have worked hard at usual time, you needn't stay up now.

如果你在平时就努力学习的话,现在就不用熬夜了。

第二,地道表达

break one's neck

1. 解词释义

Break one's neck的意思是“拼命、努力地”“尽一切力量”。表示“拼命,努力做做某事”或者“尽一切力量做某事”,在短语后面用介词in或者on,即:break one's neck in doing somethingbreak one's neck on something。还可以用这个表述法:break one's neck trying to do something

2. 拓展范例

e.g. Don't break your neck on the work, you have plenty of time.

你不用那么拼命地工作,有的是时间。

e.g. I'm not going to break my neck in finishing my essay today because my teacher doesn't want it until next week.

我今天不想玩命写完那篇文章,老师下星期才要呢。

e.g. I've been breaking my neck rying to get a passing grade this semester, so failing by two measly points is incredibly frustrating.

我一直在拼命学习就是尽力考试及格,所以仅仅2分之差没有及格真让人沮丧极了。

e.g. Don't break your neck trying to please these people—they'll never appreciate it.

不要拼命去取悦于那些人,因为他们永远都不会感激的。

第三,视野拓展

1. burn the midnight oil:开夜车,熬夜

e.g. Some of the students often burn the midnight oil before exams.

一些学生常在考试前开夜车。

e.g. It looks like we'll have to burn the midnight oil again tonight.

看来我们今晚又要开夜车了。

2. stay up:熬夜

e.g. I am going to stay up late to finish my paper.

为了完成报告我打算熬夜不睡。

e.g. He could stay up nights and sleep the whole day through.

他能几夜不睡,又能整天睡觉。

3. work hard:努力学习

e.g. I have been very lazy but I am going to turn over a new leaf and work hard.

我一向很懒,但我准备改正,用功学习。

e.g. Did John work hard at college ? What for ?
