　　I should put my ass on the line for you.

　　我理应为你两肋插刀的。

　　put my ass on the line直译过来就是：“将我的屁股放在绳子上”，这个短语的正确意思是：“两肋插刀，不惜一切”。因此，当美国人说"I should put my ass on the line for you."时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"Ishould help you as possible as I can."、"I should try my best to support you."。

　　情景对白：

　　Terry: You've done me a great favor today. Otherwise, I must have lost my job.
