今天重点学习一个表达：
sth. is to die for
字面意思：某个事情值得去死；
引申义：某件事情真的是棒呆了；值得你奋不顾身去争取；
值得注意的是，这个表达一般只在口语中会用。
If you think sth. is to die for, you really want it, and you would do anything to get it.
或者口语里直接指的是sth. is extremely attractive, enjoyable or desirable.

eg: She was wearing a dress to die for.
她穿着一条美哭了的连衣裙。

eg: The food you cooked was to die for.
你做的饭也太好吃了吧！

eg: She has a figure to die for.
她的身材，简直是迷死人不偿命啊。
