英語口語：That does it! 還是算了吧！

　　今天Larry和李華在學校的`書店里買書。Larry覺得那里的書太貴，決定上網(wǎng)買。
　　LL: Oh man, look at this! $85 for a book of old essays on US Politics? That does it! I’m buying my textbooks online.
　　LH: 這本美國政治論文集要賣85美元？你說 - "That does it"? 這是什么意思？
　　LL: Well, when someone says "That does it", he means that he is so upset that he is no longer willing to accept something.
　　LH: 噢，"That does it"就是一個人對某件事非常生氣，以致到了寧可放棄的地步。 哎，那不就相當于中文所說的“得了，算了吧”？Larry, 你是說這些課本要價太高，所以你干脆不在這兒買，到因特網(wǎng)上去買了

　　LL: That’s right! If a situation gets so bad that you cannot stand it, you can yell "that does it!", and then do something about the problem.
　　LH: Hmm... 要是你實在覺得忍無可忍，你就可以大聲說：That does it!哎，Larry, 我好象明白這個用法了，可是你能不能再給我舉個例子呢？
　　LL: Well, for example, if an employee always comes to work late, one day the boss might say "You’re late again? That does it! You’re fired!"
　　LH: Ah. 這正是我對我表妹說的話。她每天上班都遲到。我對她說總有一天他老板會覺得忍無可忍。你的老板會說：“得了，你今后別來上班了。”原來在英文里就可以說："That does it! You’re fired!"

　　LL: Now you know how to use "That does it!" Why don’t you give me an example.
　　LH: 有了，Larry，有一天你會在照鏡子的時候對自己說， "That does it! 我一定要減肥了！

　　LL: (Angry) That does it, Li Hua! I told you to stop making fun of my weight.

　　LH: Hey! 別生氣，Larry! 我是跟你開玩笑呢！而且我發(fā)現(xiàn)你最近好像瘦了。你是不是在吃什么減肥食品�。�
　　LL: A special diet? No way! All those diet books and special foods are a racket. I just decided to exercise regularly and eat less junk food.
　　LH: 這話我同意，那些減肥書和減肥食品都很貴，主要是為了騙錢，其實最重要的是鍛煉身體，少吃零食。Good for you, Larry!
