A: So beat the cat, but don't kill it.
那么把貓揍一頓得了，但是別殺了它。
地道表達(dá)：
blue in the face
小編講解：
color賦予語言很大的生命力和感染力。不僅其他語言中的語言詞條與顏色有關(guān)，很多形象多彩的英語習(xí)語也來自于顏色相關(guān)詞語的搭配。這里所講的blue in the face直接翻譯為“臉上的藍(lán)色”，但是實際上是指“因極度氣憤而臉色發(fā)紫”，與漢語中的“面紅耳赤”相似。
支持范例：
Eg.He can write me letters till he's blue in the face, I'm not going to reply.
任他沒完沒了地給我寫信, 我就是不回信.
Eg.He was blue in the face with cold.
他冷得臉上發(fā)青。
Eg.It was icy cold-enough to turn you blue in the face.
天氣冰冷，足以凍得人臉色發(fā)紫。
Eg.My father talked to me till he was blue in the face, but it did no good; I quit school anyway.
我老爸費(fèi)了老鼻子勁勸說我都沒有奏效，到頭來我還是退學(xué)了。
Eg.I talked to her till I was blue in the face and she still made the same mistake.
我費(fèi)盡了口舌，她還是犯同樣地的錯誤。
Eg.Look! I've talked till I'm blue in the face. It's out of the question.
告訴你，我已經(jīng)費(fèi)盡口舌，卻毫無成效。要說服她真的是不可能的。
Eg.You can tell her to tidy her room until you are blue in the face, but she won't listen to you.
盡管你遍地要她把自己的房間收拾干凈，他就是聽不進(jìn)去。
