a pain in the ass第一眼一看还会以为是“屁股疼”的意思,其实正确意思是“讨厌鬼,烦心事”,跟这个意思一样的短语还有“a pain in the neck”。

【例句】
In scientific terms, teenagers can be a pain in the ass. But they are quite possibly the most fully, crucially adaptive human beings around.
从科学角度来看,青少年可能是个讨厌鬼,但他们很可能就是最出色最彻底的环境适应者。

Mowing the lawn in the morning is a pain in the ass. It's killing me!
