What was the band Queen singing about in this song?
皇后乐队唱的这首歌是关于什么的呢？
This does not sound like something good happened. Let's listen:
这个听起来不像是发生了什么好事。让我们一起听一下：
This old phone of mine will not turn on anymore.
我的这个旧手机再也开不了机了。
I think it's time to throw it out. Another cell phone bites the dust.
我想是时候扔掉了。又一台手机彻底坏掉了。
I had to replace mine last month. My phone was just a year old when it bit the dust.
我的上个月也换了。才用了一年，我的手机就彻底坏掉了。
I think I dropped it too many times.
我想是我把它掉地上太多次了。
If an object bites the dust, it is beyond repair, and cannot be fixed.
如果某件东西bites the dust，意思就是不能修理了。
But the saying can also be used to describe a person's death, like in our song by Queen.
但这个表达也能用来形容一个人的死亡，就像皇后乐队的歌写得一样。
But using the term bites the dust, about a real person's death is rude, or not nice.
但是用bites the dust这个短语形容一个人的死亡，这是粗鲁、不礼貌的。
And that's English in a minute.
