“tooth、nail”,分别是牙齿和指甲的意思,如果打架又用到牙齿又用到指甲,那真可谓是拼尽全力的一场“恶斗”,所以fight tooth and nail就是“全力以赴、奋力拼搏、奋力争取、竭尽全力阻止”的意思。

【例句】
They will fight tooth and nail for the right to vote.
他们将竭尽全力为争取选举权而斗争。

There is another election coming on next fall, and he knows we are going to fight tooth and nail。
明年秋天另一次大选就要来到了,他知道我们要为此全力以赴。
