她经常来我的公寓，而我并没有邀请她。而且她还不走。
Oh, you need to nip that in the bud.
噢，你应该防患于未然。
Just tell her to call before coming over. Or just don't answer the door!

If you nip it in the bud, you stop something from becoming a bigger problem.
当你'nip it in the bud'时，你就会阻止某些事情扩大化。
Nip means to cut. So if you cut a flower while it is still a bud, it cannot grow any bigger.
Nip的意思是折断。如果你折断仍处于花蕊期间的花，这个花就不会再长大。
When you nip something in the bud, you stop it from growing.
