Business English: phrasal verbs (Mixed levels)

In the movie Margin Call, the phrase "spilled milk under the bridge" is a humorous mix of two idioms: "crying over spilled milk" and "water under the bridge." This combination is used to emphasize that there's no point in worrying about past mistakes or events that can't be changed (على أنه لا جدوى من القلق بشأن الأخطاء أو الأحداث الماضية التي لا يمكن تغييرها).

If you want to convey this idea in Arabic, you might say something like:

• "لا تبكِ على اللبن المسكوب" for "crying over spilled milk."

• "ماء تحت الجسر" for "water under the bridge."

Combining them directly might not make sense, but you could explain it as a mix of both idioms to get the point across.

Now use the "spilled milk under the bridge in an example to confirm your understanding.
