Kick one's ass: 1.If someone kicks your ass, they attack you or punish you. 2.If someone kicks your ass, they defeat you easily in a competition. Note: 'Ass' and 'butt' are informal American words for 'bottom'. As in Dad would have kicked my ass for allowing you to sleep here.

中文释义：Kick one's ass 这个短语直译就是“踢某人屁股”的意思，延伸意思是“惩罚、击败某人”。例句：And then I'm gonna kick your ass in that game.（我要在那个游戏中打败你。）在这里引申另一个相近短语：Kiss one's ass ，它的实际意思是：拍某人马屁；奉承某人，所以kiss her ass 就是平日我们说的“献殷勤”。温馨提示：kick ass 这个短语还有“酷毙了，了不起，很厉害”的意思。
