    骆驼(camel)素以耐力著称,它可以多天不吃不喝,驮着重物在一望无垠的沙漠中行走。但凡是皆有限度,骆驼的负载能力亦然。据说,最强壮的骆驼的最大负载量约为1200磅,一旦超过了极限,骆驼就会承受不了,英语谚语It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.(最后一根稻草压断了骆驼的脊背)形象地说明了这个道理。该谚语可能系英国作家狄更斯(Charles Dickens)所创,他在《董贝父子》(Dombey and Son)中写了as the last straw breaks the laden camel's back这样的语句。但狄更斯这种说法来自一个更为古老的谚语It is the last feather that breaks the horse's back.(最后一根羽毛压断马的脊背)。后来人们往往将前一个谚语缩短为straw that breaks the camel's back或the last straw,用以喻指一系列重压、打击之外使人无法承受的最后一击或最终导致失败(或垮台)的因素。
