Get off the doggie’s tail.,Terry，够了。得饶人处且饶人吧，放他一马吧。,地道表达,get off the doggie’s tail,1.解释,此俚语的意思是“得饶人处且饶人，放别人一马”。用于劝诫那些为已经过去的事情或人耿耿于怀，甚至还怀有报复心理的人。,2.范例,A: She speak ill of me behind my back. I will find some opportunity to teach her a lesson.,她在我背后说我的坏话，我回去找到个机会报复她的。,B: Come on, it is not a big deal. And she made a apology to you for it. Get off the doggie’s tail.,得了吧，又不是什么大事情。她已经为此事向你表示道歉了，就得饶人处且饶人吧。,Ps 1:表示“仅仅做某事是不够的。”可以用下面这个句型：It is not just enough to do something. “仅仅”二字的翻译可以用副词just，表示强调。例如：,It is not enough just to eat a healthy diet.,仅仅靠一份健康的食谱是不够的。,Ps 2：go bankrupt的意思是“破产，倒闭”。例如：,Their backs are to the wall. If they don't find another creditor, they will go bankrupt.,他们的处境困难, 如果找不到另一个贷款的人，他们就要破产。,It was touch and go whether we'd go bankrupt.,我们是否会破产还很难说。
