phrase: Over my dead body.

    同样也是拒绝别人，同样也是强调绝无可能，英文里还有一句 "Over my dead body." 从字面上来看，这句话是说"这件事除非我躺下了，你从我身上跨过去才能做"。翻成中文就是"打死我我也不干"。

    例如：

    A：Could you clean up the bird poop on my car?

    能不能帮我清一下车上的鸟屎啊?

    B: Over my dead body.

    死也不干。

Joke of Today

Keys? Kiss?

    A friend of mine was giving an English lesson to a class of adult who had recently come to live in the United States. After placing quite a number of everyday objects on a table, he asked various members of the class to give him the ruler, the book, the pen and so on. The class went very smoothly and the students seemed interested and serious about the work that they were engaged in until when my friend turned to an Italian student and said, "Give me the keys." The man looked surprised and somewhat at a loss. Seeing this, my friend thought that the student hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated. "Give me the keys." The Italian shrugged his shoulders. Then, he threw his arms around the teacher's neck and kissed him on both cheeks.
