你知道嗎?Dan離婚了。
B:Really? I thought he loved his wife very much.
真的嗎?我還以為她很愛他的妻子了。
A:Yeah. But his relation with Sallycome to a stichy endand was found by his wife.
他是很愛他的妻子，但是他與Sally的關(guān)系到了難以收拾的局面，這一切被他妻子發(fā)現(xiàn)了。
B:He deserved it.
他活該!
地道表達(dá)：
come to a sticky end
小編講解：
sticky是形容詞，意思是“難對付的，困難的”, come to的意思是“到了”，end的意思是“結(jié)尾，結(jié)局”。所以該短語的意思是“到了一個棘手的結(jié)局”，即指：到了一個難以收場的局面。和中文中的“死于非命”意思相近。
支持范例：
Eg.If be goes on persecuting people, and stirring up hatred of himself, one day he'll come to a sticky end.
如果他繼續(xù)迫害人民，激起他們的仇恨，總有一天，他會落得個可悲的一場。
