【push one's luck 得寸進(jìn)尺】
人有時(shí)候不懂得察言觀色,吃了一點(diǎn)甜頭還不知節(jié)制,若是你遇到這種“得寸進(jìn)尺”push one's luck 的人,就可以送他這句話 Don't push your luck.“你別得寸進(jìn)尺了?!?給他來(lái)點(diǎn)小小的警告,以免對(duì)方樂極生悲。
A: I will be in charge of this company in five years.

相反地來(lái)說(shuō),若你不想加入,或是加入了以后想要放棄,你就可以說(shuō) I'm out.“我退出,我放棄”。
