地道表达

Overkill

1. 解词释义

Overkill一词在美国是“多余”的意思。例如：跟一个老美打球，大了两局后她还要不要继续再打时，他可能会说：“That’s enough, anymore is just overkill.”或者是吃东西的时候，你问老美实在吃不了，他可能会说：“No, thanks. That is overkill”。

2. 拓展例句

一晚放映三个同一主题的访问记实, 真是小题大做。

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

我每次打开电视都是足球节目，真是受不了。

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

这样的安保措施很可能过头了。
