#英语学习#英语俗语：Throw in the Towel

#English Study#Idiom: Throw in the Towel. To "throw in the towel" means to admit that you cannot do something and stop trying to do it. This expression comes from the sport of boxing. A fighter shows they're surrendering by throwing a towel into the boxing ring. Sometimes we just know we've lost or that we need to stop trying to do something. In these cases, we throw in the towel and prepare ourselves for the next competition or goal. For example: “I’m not playing chess with Jane anymore. She beat me five times in a row, so I threw in the towel.”  Tell us about a time when you decided to admit defeat and throw in the towel. #AmericanEnglish#
