你太过分了！
Take the biscuit
Welcome to The English We Speak. It's Feifei here with Rob.
欢迎来到BBC地道英语。我是菲菲，这是罗伯。
Hi everyone.
大家好~
So Rob, help yourself to a biscuit.
罗伯，快来吃饼干。
I know how much you love them, so I bought some for us to share today.
我知道你超级喜欢饼干，所以我今天买了一些给你。
Oh right. That's very kind, Feifei, but very odd.
是的。菲菲，你真好，但是也有点古怪。
You don't normally buy me things. Are you feeling guilty? Have you done something wrong?
你一般不给我买东西的，你是做了什么亏心事觉得抱歉吗？
Of course not! Well… sort of.
当然没有！好吧……也有一点。
I hope you don't mind, but I used up all your coffee when I made drinks for the team this morning.
我今天早上泡咖啡的时候把你的咖啡用完了，希望你不要生气。
What?! You used up all my coffee and you didn't make me one?
什么？你把我的咖啡用完了，而且也没给我泡一杯？
Oh, that really takes the biscuit!
这真的是“takes the biscuit”！
I haven't taken any biscuits – just your coffee.
我没有拿饼干呀——只用了你的咖啡。
No, Feifei! When I say someone really takes the biscuit, I mean 'what you have done is really surprising, annoying or sometimes just silly.'
不是的，菲菲！如果说某人“really takes the biscui”，我是说他的所作所为太出乎意料、让人生气，甚至极其反感。
Oh dear. You're not happy? Sorry, Rob.
哦，亲爱的。你不高兴了是吗？对不起，罗伯。
Let's hear some examples while you calm down…
我们还是听听例句平静一下吧……
I can't believe she copied my work and pretended it was her own – now that really takes the biscuit.
我不敢相信她抄了我的作业，还说那是她自己的——真是太过分了！

So you take the biscuit by using up my coffee but there is something that really takes the biscuit.
