Wring one's neck字面意思来看,这个短语是“扭某人的脖子”之意,气得都要动手,“扭脖子、掐脖子”了,可见愤怒的程度,所以这个短语的实际意思是“非常生气,或是重重地处罚某人”Don’t do that again, or I will wring your neck.别再这么做了,否则我会狠狠地罚你。4. Break one’s neck这个短语也不能按字面理解为“断了脖子”,它其实是表示由于成年累月地埋头苦干、辛勤工作,而累“断了”脖子,其实也就是“竭尽全力苦干”的意思。Don’t worry. I will break my neck to finish the work on time.别担心,我会竭尽全力按时完成工作的。
