大家好,今天我们分享的短语是“draw the line”,它的含义不是指“画条线”,其正确的理解是:

draw the line(at)绝不做;拒绝做

I swear a lot, but even I draw the line at saying certain words.

我经常说脏话,但即便如此有些话我绝不会说。

It's necessary to make a profit in business,but one should draw a line at doing anything that it in any way harmful to others.

在生意中获取利润很正常,但是人们应该绝不能做损害他人的事情。

I'm not opposed to cleaning our apartment, but washing your dirty dishes is where I draw the line.

我并不反对打扫我们的公寓,但是刷你的碗我绝对不做。

I draw the line at giving them more money.

我绝对不会给他们更多的钱。
