"Do it to death" nghĩa là gì?


"Do something to death" = làm đến chết -> nghĩa là làm mãi một việc đến mức trở nên quá nhàm chán.

Ví dụ
We, as workers, no longer have any tolerance (khoan dung) to this misery (khốn khổ) that is offered to us. We are the ones who produce at warehouses, markets, docks, factories... And we do it to death... We wanted our hourly wage to be increased by 4 liras. Is it too much?

The dogs walk in a tight circle and smell each others’ bottoms, their customary (theo lệ thường) greeting. Dozens of people cheer. “Kookie! You do it to death, honey!” Betty Godette of Teaneck yells over the crowd.

When you have a Zonda in your midst, it is your duty as a motoring hack to do it to death. And do it we shall. Especially as you won’t be seeing this one as it is here for too much longer.

When it slowed down completely and then sped up – the whole excitement of that used to blow my mind. I just couldn’t work out how everyone was able to stay in time. I get really obsessed (ám ảnh) by things, so if I like it, I’ll tend to do it to death.
