今天节目中，我们来一起学习一下这个短语，叫做water under bridge；
它其实完整的说法是water under the bridge，我们之前在讲解Modern Family S3E18的时候讲解过，大家也可以点击超链接跳转复习一下。
这个短语可以理解成：problems that someone has had in the past that they do not worry about because they happened a long time ago and cannot now be changed:
“过去的事情已经过去了，不必再纠结或计较”，确实有点像中文里面的“过眼云烟”或者“翻篇了”；跟我们以前学习过的let bygones be bygones也可以理解成近义表达。
A: “I'm sorry for what I said last year.”
B: “Don't worry, it's water under the bridge.”
A：“去年我说了那样的话，我感到很抱歉。”
B：“别想太多，早就翻篇了。”
eg: We had arguments before, but that's all water under the bridge now.
我们之前有过争执，但现在都不重要了。
eg: That argument we had is just water under the bridge now—don't even worry about it.
我们之前的争吵早就翻篇了——你根本不用放在心上。
eg: He didn't treat me very well at the time but it's all water under the bridge now.
他那会儿对我不是很好，不过那些都过去了。
eg: After their disagreement, they decided to move on, considering it merely water under the bridge.
在争执之后，他们决定向前看，只把这件事情当做一个已经翻篇的小小插曲。
eg: Though their partnership ended bitterly, both agreed it was water under the bridge when they met again years later.
尽管之前他们的合作不欢而散，但是双方几年后再次见面时，都认为那是曾经的事儿了，不必再提。
