That's all we can ask of you. 你就尽全力就好了，我们也只能要求你这么多了。 这里其实换成worst 就完全是相反的意思了。 It is used for saying that you are not frightened by something or someone because you are confident they cannot harm you 你自信满满地说：我不怕你，放马过来吧。你内心并不担心对方能够伤你丝毫。 或者这个短语可以理解为： be as harmful, unpleasant, violent, etc. as you can eg: I refuse to pay this bill. Let them do their worst. 随他们怎么做，我拒绝支付这笔账单。 eg: Let them do their worst—he would never surrender. 让他们尽管试试好了，他是绝对不会投降的！ eg: The electricity company did their worst and cut off the supply. 电力公司做绝了，切断了电力供应。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】 我才不怕他呢，让他放马过来好了！

There’s no need to lay it on so thick. Bob，我觉得Mary应该知道她现在身处于什么样的麻烦里，没必要别再吓唬她了。 2. 溜须拍马，拼命奉承；给别人戴高帽； to make something such as your admiration for someone or their achievements seem greater or more important than it really is in order to impress someone eg: Don't lay it on too thick, but make sure they are flattered. 别狂拍马屁，但是要确保都把他们哄开心。 eg: Sally was laying it on thick when she said that Tom was the best singer she had ever heard.
