英语习语

beat a dead horse

[习语笔记]

这个习语原意是“试图在一个有希望的问题上修正兴趣”，也就是“试图在一个无望的问题上唤起人们的兴趣”。

后来主要用来表示“搞徒劳无功”，即“徒劳无功”，相当于“徒劳无功；浪费口舌；徒劳无功；多余的努力；徒劳无功。”

[习语用法]

I hate to beat a dead horse, but it is very important that you understand this before you leave.

我不想多此一举，但你在离开之前必须知道这一点。

I've already made up my mind. There's no sense beating a dead horse.

我已经决定了，不要白费口舌了。

You are beating a dead horse if you are trying to make him change his political views.

试图改变他的政治观点是没有用的。

[八卦习语]

习语的《徒劳无功》第一次出现在1859年英国的一次议会辩论中：

'If the hon. Member for Birmingham [John Bright] had been present, he would have asked the hon. Gentleman [Lord Elcho] whether he was satisfied with the results of his winter campaign. It was notorious that he was not, and a saying was attributed to him that he found he was 'flogging a dead horse.' '

Flog代表“鞭笞”，相当于殴打。
