No Way Back
A general breaks the pots and sinks the boats so his men must win.
很久以前，有一个将军。Long ago, there was a general.他带着士兵过了一条大河。He led his soldiers across a big river.河对面有很多敌人。On the other side of the river there were many enemies.士兵们很害怕，想回家。The soldiers were scared and wanted to go home.
将军说：“打破锅！把船推到水里！”The general said, "Break the pots! Push the boats into the water!"
士兵们问：“没有船，我们怎么回家？”The soldiers asked, "Without boats, how do we go home?"
将军说：“我们不回家，只能向前！”The general said, "We are not going home. We can only go forward!"
士兵们没有路了，就努力去打。The soldiers had no way out, so they fought hard.最后，他们打赢了。In the end, they won.
这个成语是“破釜沉舟”。This idiom is "break the pots and sink the boats."意思是：不留回去的路，一定要成功。It means: leave no way back — you must succeed.小明把游戏机送人了，破釜沉舟，天天学习。Xiao Ming gave away his game console — he broke the pots and sank the boats, and studies every day.
