地道表達

Overkill

1. 解詞釋義

Overkill一詞在美國是“多餘”的意思。例如：跟一個老美打球，大了兩局後她還要不要繼續再打時，他可能會說：“That’s enough, anymore is just overkill.”或者是吃東西的時候，你問老美實在吃不了，他可能會說：“No, thanks. That is overkill”。

2. 拓展例句

e.g. It was surely overkill to screen three interviews on the same subject in one evening.

一晚放映三個同一主題的訪問記實, 真是小題大做。

e.g. Every time I switch on the TV, there's football. It's overkill.

我每次打開電視都是足球節目，真是受不了。

e.g. Such security measures may well be overkill.

這樣的安保措施很可能過頭了。
