今天我们来学习这个表达，be hard on sb.，其实这个短语我们已经不是第一次见了。
之前我们见到的时候，学到了这个短语可以用来表达“为难某个人、让某个人不好过/对某个人或某件事不公平”；
to be difficult for or unfair to sb./sth.

比如说看这几个例子：
eg: Don't be too hard on her. She was only trying to help.
别太难为她了，她只是想要帮忙而已。

eg: Don't be so hard on him. He's new to the job.
别太为难他。他也是刚接手这份工作。

eg: It's hard on people who don't have a car.
这对于那些没车一族来说，很不公平/很不好。


今天我们要学习这个短语的另外一层意思：
If you say that something is hard on a person or thing, you mean it affects them in a way that is likely to cause them damage or suffering.
“让某个人觉得不好受、难过”或者“让某物受伤”；

eg: Aerobics is hard on the knees.
有氧运动伤膝盖。

eg: It's very hard on parents when their children are rebellious.
当孩子们很叛逆的时候，家长也很难办。
对于父母亲来说，孩子的叛逆是个很棘手的问题。
