I can’t believe that you lied to me again; that’s the last straw.

A famous story describes a camel whose back was broken when it was used to carry too much straw. The last straw is used to let someone know that a behavior is not acceptable and that you will no longer tolerate it.
真不敢相信,你竟然再一次欺騙我;這可是最後一次了!
還記得「壓到駱駝的最後一根稻草」那則故事嗎?句中 the last straw 就是那最後一根稻草,用來警告對方:「我已忍無可忍,這是你最後一次耍我了。」
