港片和武侠小说里经常出现类似这样的话：有什么事您尽管吩咐，我就算上刀山下火海也赴汤蹈火再所不辞。那么，为了帮助别人不惜一切代价，两肋插刀都不怕，用英语怎么说呢？那就是“bend over backwards”。

“Bend over backwards”就是身体向后仰。这种姿势对于一般人来说应该很难做，而且做起来也很难受。由此引申而来的意思就是，为了帮助别人把自己置于不舒服的位置，也就是我们说的上刀山下火海这种意思。

看下面例句：

We bent over backwards to help him, and he never even thanked us!

（我们为了帮他简直是两肋插刀，可是他连谢都没谢我们一下。）
