You are going too far, 千万别翻译成“你走的太远了”

当我们跟老外聊天时,如果对方说一句You are going too far,他是想表达什么意思呢?

你走的太远了?如果你去直译,那就大错特错啦!

我们先来看一下权威的解释:

This phrase is said when someone exceeds the limits of what is reasonable or acceptable, or does something too extreme.

当一个人做事情或者说话让别人难以接受,或者做了一些太极端的事情时,我们可以用 going too far这个表达。

所以,这个表达跟远近无关,类似于汉语里的“你太过分了

我们来看两个例句:

Sheldon's reactions are funny, but sometimes he goes too far.

谢耳朵的反应很搞笑,但有时候也有点过了。

I didn't mind at first, but now you've gone too far.

我一开始并不介意的,但现在你做得太过了。

类似的表达还有一个

out of line

It means behaving in a way that other people do not approve of.

当某个人的行为不被别人认可时,我们就可以说他"out of line".

再来看一个相关例句:

I was way out of line and I apologize.

我刚刚太过分了,我真诚地道歉。

还有一个非常地道的表达

How dare you!

You say 'how dare you' when you are very shocked and angry about something that someone has done.

当你对于某人做的事情感觉非常气愤或震惊时,可以使用这个表达。

我们再来看一个相关例句:

-Were you ever involved with this woman?

-How dare you! I’m a respectable married man.

-你跟这个女人有过什么关系吗?

-你太过分了,我可是一个受人尊敬的已婚男人。
