成语:take the biscuit
释义:to be the best/worst thing one has ever seen or heard of(令人惊讶的最好/最差的事物)。在实际使用当中,这个短语更多地用于强调吃惊,表达讽刺的语气,含有“竟然做出这种(愚蠢、粗野或自私的)事情”。(If someone has done something very stupid, rude, or selfish, you can say that they take the biscuit or that what they have done takes the biscuit, to emphasize your surprise at their behaviour.)美国英语用 take the cake。
例句:
Mr. Smith takes the biscuit as a story teller. 史密斯先生讲故事是无与伦比的。
He's done stupid things before, but this really takes the biscuit, i.e. is the most stupid thing.
他以前倒也干过傻事,但这次实在太离谱了(做了最愚蠢的事)。
