burn the boat
破釜沉舟
In the late years of the Qin Dynasty (秦朝,221 - 206BC), Xiang Yu (项羽) launched a rebellion.
秦朝末年，项羽发动了叛乱。
After crossing the Zhang River (漳河), Xiang Yu ordered his soldiers to sink all the boats and break their cooking pots.
在部队渡过漳河之后，项羽命令士兵把所有的船只都凿破，沉到河底，再把煮饭锅完全打碎。He distributed each soldier three days' rations and warned them that there was no way return; the only thing they could do to survive was to fight against the enemy.
项羽给每个人只发三天的粮食，然后再上战场，这样做，是为了向大家表示“宁死不退”的决心。
After nine furious war, the Qin army was finally defeated.
果然，经过九次的激烈奋战，项羽的军队终于打败了秦国的军队。
This idiom is used to reveal one's strong determination to achieve one's goal at any cost.
后来，我们使用“破釜沉舟”比喻：下定决心，不达目的绝不罢休的精神。
【文化链接】
英文中“破釜沉舟”可以用“burn the boat ”来表达，就是“烧掉船只”，即“破釜沉舟，自绝退路”。
我们一起来看几个例句：
Andy is intelligent, energetic and is ready to burn his boat.
安迪聪明热情，且随时准备破釜沉舟干到底。
但是，这个短语并不是时时都是褒义的，如果“破釜沉舟”精神领会的不好，那有时会真的是自绝后路，比如说：
Think carefully before you resign ---if so, you will have burnt your boat.
你对辞职的事情要三思呀,不然就自绝了后路了。

We can be friends, but just friends. That way, I won't be jealous anymore, and I won't have these bad dreams anymore." "Why didn't you call me up and tell me about your dream?" he asked. "They say that the more you talk about bad dreams, the sooner you'll stop having them." She disagreed. She thought that the only solution was to break up and be just friends. She loved him, but these dreams had become so frequent that she was actually afraid to go to sleep. She was losing weight and having stomachaches from the stress. He didn't know what to do.

高中英语词汇——看故事记单词（十二） The digest of the novel included the most exciting scenes. Several witnesses saw a UFO! It looked like a huge disc. The dimension of the UFO was 6 feet high, 15 feet in diameter. It gave off diffused light. The light was too dim for them to see it clearly. So they touched it, and it diminished! Suddenly the stones on the ground flew about in every direction. One of the witnesses was disabled in this disaster. The UFO took off and soon disappeared in the sky. The police was diplomatic; they found Professor Huggins with the help of the directory. Professor Huggins was diligent enough to obtain a diploma in space research. Now, he was the director of a famous scientific group. On the day they visited him, Professor Huggins was dining. He was dipping the chicken in the butter. The rich food didn't digest easily. The police asked him what differentiated the UFO from the airplane. He answered humorously, "The UFO has diplomatic immunity."The police said his help would certainly make a difference in this affair. Professor Huggins cut off their diffuse speech and agreed to help them. The news diffused rapidly around the country. The bad thing was newspaper accounts of the affair disagreed. This place Professor Huggins in something of a dilemma. To maintain his dignity, he had to do his work under disadvantage. So he kept on working with a digital computer day and night. 这部小说的摘要包含了最精彩的场面。几个目击者看见了UFO!它看起来像一个巨大的圆盘。UFO的尺寸是高6英尺，直径15英尺。它发出四散的光。光线很暗淡，他们看不清楚。于是他们去触摸它，然而它竟缩小了!突然地上的石头朝各个方向乱飞。一个目击者在这场灾难中残废了。UFO起飞并很快消失在空中。警方很有策略，他们通过人名地址簿找到了哈金斯教授。哈金斯教授很勤奋，他获得了太空研究方面的一个文凭。现在，他是一个著名的科学团体的主任。警方拜访哈金斯教授的那天，他正在进餐。只见他拿鸡块蘸黄油吃。这种油腻的食物可不好消化。警方问他如何区分UFO和飞机。他幽默地回答说：“UFO 有外交豁免权。”警方说他的帮助对这事很重要。哈金斯教授打断他们冗长的演讲，答应帮助他们。很快消息在全国传播开来。不好的事情是新闻报道不一致。这使哈金斯教授陷于窘境。为了维护自己的尊严，他不得不在不利条件下工作。于是他夜以继日地用一台数字计算机工作着。 The war field was in dreadful disorder.
