Maybe you think turn off is a verb, yes it is true. But we can use it as a noun so its meaning will be changed.

definition as a noun

something that you dislike or that you do not find interesting and maybe makes you upset

Examples:

1.This system may provide a powerful tool for adults who find computers a turn-
off yet need to learn to use them.

2.Rudeness is, for me, the ultimate turn-off.

توضیح:
شاید بگیم چرا خیلی ساده معادل این اصطلاح رو در متن استفاده نکرده ام. معادل آن یعنی دوست نداشتن، مطابق متن مشکل اخیر موردی هست که باعث ناراحت شدن شده:

تغییر جمله با معادلش:

But, going around coronavirus is the straw that broke the camel’s back that makes us upset ( or that we don’t like it)

با مقایسه ی دو جمله ترکیب a real turn off یه ترکیب زیباتری برای جمله هست.

Colleague 1 : Do you think my lack of advancement in the company is due to that huge error I made two years ago?

Colleague 2 : Not at all. In fact, that error that you made allowed us to actually discover some of the vulnerabilities in the system. The whole process allowed us to improve the system which made it much stronger. I really believe that any error you may have made is water under the bridge ; gone and forgotten. The lack of advancement is simply a matter of the company not growing very fast. There have simply not been that many opportunities for anyone to advance.

  1. That was four years ago and hopefully it’s all water under the bridge .

  2. … without trying to solve things, or by pretending it’s water under the bridge while holding a grudge – both great ways to keep from moving past issues or …
