Welcome to English in a Minute.

What was the band Queen singing about in this song? Another One Bites the Dust. This does not sound like something good happened. Let's listen:

Another One Bites the Dust 彻底坏掉

A: This old phone of mine will not turn on anymore. I think it's time to throw it out. Another cell phone bites the dust.

B: I had to replace mine last month. My phone was just a year old when it bite the dust. I think I dropped it too many times.

If an object bites the dust, it is beyond repair, and cannot be fixed. But the saying can also be used to describe a person's death, like in our song by Queen. But using the term bites the dust, about a real person's death is rude, or not nice.

And that's English in a Minute!
