英语很多俚语看起来很简单，比如Jig is up，但实际另有深意！

（The）Jig is up中文意思是：到此为止；一切都完了，英文是这样解释它的：The plan or scheme has been discovered and/or thwarted; the game, trick, or deception is at an end.
jig 这个词原本是一种舞蹈的名字，但在此用语中则是指一种技巧或骗术。基本上，这个用语的意思是表示计谋被拆穿（而且可能有麻烦了）。有资料显示这个用语可追溯至17世纪，现在用起来也许略显老派，但大家还是听得懂。尤其当说话者想要表现幽默或讽刺时，就会用到这句话。
