亲爱的小伙伴们！又到了今日习语的时间了，不知道大家有没有遇到过这个短语？Push one's luck或者press one's luck。

看到push或press，我们的脑海里首先会出现两个动作，一个是“推”，一个是“按、压或挤”。luck，毫无疑问，是运气、好运的含义。

Push one's luck or press one's luck的英文解释是：To risk losing the good favor or fortune one has garnered thus far by brashly or overconfidently seeking more.

中文意思就是“有点好运就得寸进尺，贪心不足”

例子1：

I know you're in the boss's good graces now, but don't push your luck. She's been known to turn on people for getting too cocky.

我知道你现在是老板的红人。但是，不要忘乎所以。据说，她会拿得意忘形的人开刀。

例子2：

You've done very well so far, but don't press your luck.

你目前已经做的非常好了，不要太贪心了。

例子3：

I've had some good winnings at blackjack, but I don't think I should push my luck any further.

我玩21点游戏时赢了不少，不过我打算见好就收。
