Explanation:
E' il colmo starebbe per That's the limit. Ma si dovrebbe saltare That's it!. Io non ho il contesto, in un altro contesto potrebbe essere interpretato anche così: Basta! Questo passa ogni limite! (entrambe traduzioni del RAGAZZINI). Ciao. Ilde
That's it sul RAGAZZINI è tradotto anche: Ecco, bravo ....
