最佳解答
- 英語 (英國)
I think the phrase you mean is 'it's curtains for'
It means that someone is in trouble or that something is coming to an end.
It comes from (I think) theatre curtains closing at the end of a play but I could be wrong about that.
Here are some example sentences.
'The police have caught the robber so it looks like it's curtains for him' (he's been caught and will probably go to jail)
'I'm going to be home late again! My wife will be so angry, looks like it's curtains for me!' (he's in trouble)
'the ship is sinking, it looks like it's curtains for those poor sailors' (they are probably going to die)
'if I fail this exam, it's curtains for me' (if I fail, my chance of getting into college are ended)
'it's getting so cold now, looks like it's curtains for summer' (summer has ended)
Does that help?

@ricecake0106 Ohh! It basically means "It's the end for", but it's not really used that often :)

@pinkukuma666 - it's not used that often,I guess you could say it's a little bit old fashioned.
