口语每日一学：Throw in the towel

2008-10-21　来源：国际在线　

        Throw in the towel 举白旗

        It means to quit.This phrase comes from boxing. When a boxer is too beat up to continue, his coach throws a towel into the ring to signal that the fight is over.

        Note:

        Throw in the towel的意思是认输，来源于拳击比赛。当拳击手打不过对方，他的教练会抛一条毛巾入场，表示认输。

        例：The company threw in the towel after losing all of its major customers.

        公司丢了所有的主要客户之后只好举白旗认输了。
