面对生活所带来的遭遇，我们总是在经受这一切后感叹一声“我太难了”，我太难了，可能是因为工作压力，可能是因为家庭经济压力，也可能是其他人际交往方面，一句“我太南了”成了网络流行词，那你知道“我太南了”英文怎么说嘛？
之前大白有说到过，这里再做下简单归纳：
常见表达有：
Life is so hard/difficult
Hard going
Tough
Life is tough, but I'm tougher.
生活很艰苦,但我更坚强。
It is quite demanding.
这个做起来很费力
You got me.
你难倒我了。
下面我们再来看看一个可以用来表达生活很难的地道俚语表达。
例句：
（1）That huge credit card payment is a really monkey on his back.
（2）His workload is like a monkey on his back. It's driving him nuts.
想必大家已经看出来了，没错，就是“a monkey on your back”这个表达！
monkey 一词，想必大家都不陌生，常表示 “猴子”，词典中对其解释是“一种生活于热带地区，善于爬树，长尾棕黄色动物”。
还有一点需要大家注意的是，monkey作名词还可表示 “a small child who is very active and likes to play tricks”, 即 爱捣蛋的调皮小孩，即我们常说的“猴孩子，捣蛋鬼”。
同时monkey做动词解释时，表示“嘲弄、胡闹、捣蛋”等意思。
monkey business 胡闹，骗人的把戏；欺骗；恶作剧
monkey king 美猴王，孙悟空
golden monkey金丝猴
back,一词，常见的用法有以下几种：
用作名词，表示 “后背”, 朗文词典的定义为“the part of the body between the neck and legs, on the opposite side to the stomach and chest”, 即 后颈和腿之间的和腹部和前胸相对的身体部位
Keep your head up and your back straight.
抬起头，挺直背
My feet were sore and my back was aching. I had to rest
俺jio 酸背疼，得歇歇
其次，back 也可以用作副词，表示 返回之前所在的地方或者时间段
It’s possible to travel there and back in a day.
一天内往返来回，是有可能的
He was back home by half past eleven.
他11点半回到了家里
另外back 作为 动词表示“支持”，该用法不常见，但是在口语和写作中，都能增彩不少。
This policy is backed by most workers in the company .
该项政策得到了公司大部分员工的支持。
Leader is the person who should be backed by his employees .
领导者，应该为众人所支持。
了解了上面这些信息后，我们应该怎样理解“monkey on your back”呢？
根据词典的定义,“a serious problem that makes your life very difficult”,即 让你人生艰难的问题或者事情，这只猴子就像房贷车贷一样，压迫着你使你喘不过气来，中文语境中接近的替换词为 “困难重重；压力山大；重担在肩”。可不就是“太难了”吗？
When it comes to a man's 30s, mortgage, auto loan, kids education and parents caring, are like a monkey on his back.
男人三十多岁的时候，车贷、房贷、孩子教育、父母养老，如同千钧重担
Tony feels it's like a monkey on his back when he can't pay his barber shop rent during Corona Virus
当Tony因为疫情支付不起自己理发店房租的时候，感觉自己太难啦！
注意：该短语也可表示对于毒品的沉溺，需要根据语境判断
Do you think she wants to have a monkey on her back?
你以为她希望自己毒瘾缠身吗？
好了，今天的这个俚语a monkey on your back你学会了吗？学会不要忘记给大白点个赞哦~
