谢耳朵说的milk that cow是啥意思？

Hi, it's Patricia

今天给大家推送的是

the Big Bang Theory 谢耳朵和莱纳德一段对话

有点快大家耐心多听几遍哦

小谢

Unbelievable. He says Wolowitz deserves my spot because he's a high-profile asset to the university.

Well,he's not wrong. Howard did go to the International Space Station.

Yeah,that was 5 weeks ago. How much longer is he gonna milk that cow?

milk that cow.mp3 来自微社交英语 00:00 03:41

今日重点：

milk that cow

Usually a reference to treating a person or entity as a cash cow. This implies taking advantage of a situation and has a strongly negative tone.

通常指把某人或某实体当做摇钱树（ a cash cow 摇钱树），暗指利用某种情况，带有强烈的负面语调（看谢耳朵纳气鼓鼓的小表情就知道啦）

也可以说milk someone for all someone's worth,表示完全在利用某人，想把他榨干。

今日例句：

She's really milking him for all his worth.

她在不遗余力地利用他，想把他榨干。

你好，老朋友

Best whshes for you
