Hello, I am Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen">Helen. Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil，我能请教你一件事儿吗？

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Sure, go on. What's on your mind?

Well, 我有两个好朋友 Theodora 和 Alma，她们一直都很要好，不过最近听说为了一根稻草 a straw 她们俩闹翻了。

They are not getting on because of a straw? Are you sure you heard it right?

我没听错。Alma said to me when Theodora didn't come to her party, it was the last straw. 听到了吧，最后的一根稻草！我就想不明白，这稻草这么细，这么轻，就能让两个朋友翻脸吗？

Oh, Alma was just using an expression. What she really meant was, things were not going well between them because of things which happened in the past.

这倒也是，Theodora 好几次都没参加我们的约会，也没给出理由。

When Theodora didn't come to Alma's party, that was the final thing that made Alma really angry, she gave up on their friendship.

噢，原来如此！“The last straw 最后一根稻草”的意思实际上是说当有一系列的问题存在并没有得到解决时，最后发生的事情即使很小或者微不足道，却会成为导火索，引爆之前积累下来的问题，成为致命的最后一击。Alma 因 Theodora 之前多次都没去聚会已心存不满，这次终于忍无可忍了。
