Blue in the face

这篇内容介绍了一个有趣的英语表达 'until you are blue in the face',意指非常努力地做某事但最终没有成功。通过两个例子说明了这个表达的实际应用场景。

If you do something 'until you are blue in the face', it means you work very hard on it or do it for a long time, but in the end waste your efforts because you are not successful.

Examples:

Martin argued with his mother until he was blue in the face, but she still made him wash the dishes.

You can walk up and down the high street until you are blue in the face, but you won't find a shop selling leather shoes as cool or as cheap as these!
