成语：burn one's boats behind one
释义：to cut off all means of retreat; to stake everything on success; to commit oneself irrevocably (to a course, a particular line of action) 自绝后路，做事不留后路。该用语同汉语习 语“破签沉舟”、“背水一战”有着异曲同工之妙。美式英语中常用bum one's bridges behind one。
例句：
She didn't want to burn her boats by asking for a divorce, so she suggested a trial separation instead.
她不想要求离婚，自断退路，所以建议试分居。
