push your luck 得寸进尺

5

表达 push one's luck 可以理解为“得寸进尺,过分要求”,已经做了有风险的事情,不但不收手还变本加厉,继续做下去。人们常用 “don't push your luck 你别得寸进尺”作为善意的警告,告诉他人你该见好就收了。这个表达也可以写为 push it 或者 don't push it,意思是一样的。

例句

My sister agreed to help out on Saturday, do you think I might be pushing my luck if I asked her to stay for the whole week?

我妹妹同意星期六来帮我们,你说,如果我让她再多呆一个星期,是不是就有点过分了?

You've had a good run so far, don't push your luck!

你已经够幸运的了,别得寸进尺啊!

You should be glad that he let you off with a warning this time. Don't push it!

你应该谢天谢地他这次仅仅是给了你一个警告。别太过分了!
