Question

he pushes his luck
我不需要直接的英语意思,我只是想知道为什么这个短语是他太贪心的意思,push不是推的意思吗?luck不是幸运吗?为什么会变成他太贪心了呢

Answer 1

很多成语是没有道理可言的.pull someone's leg 意思是和某人开玩笑,有没有道理可言呢?汉语里面也有很多这种现象,你可以自己观察一下.

我给你找到根据了,这个成语其实和字面意思有关系：
push one's luck and press one's luck
to expect continued good fortune; to expect to continue to escape bad luck. (Often implies unreasonable expectation.) You're okay so far, but don't push your luck. Bob pressed his luck too much and got into a lot of trouble.

push 推进,增加.与expect to continue 差不多意思.
