輕松日記商務(wù)職場篇 第94期:做得過火了
核心句型：
You must have overplayed your hand.
你一定是做得太過火了。
overplay one's hand這個習(xí)語源于撲克游戲，意思是過高估計對手手中的牌或自己的牌，結(jié)果卻輸了。此習(xí)語作為比喻，常用于形容過分自信或胃口太大而做出超越自己能力的事以及把話說過頭的場景之中。這個短語的正確意思是：“做得過火，做得出格了。”因此，當(dāng)美國人說"You must haveoverplayed your hand."時，他/她要表達(dá)的意思就是:"Youmust have overdone it."、"What you have donemust have gone too far."。
