　　The expression “burning your bridges” means acting in such a way that you destroy any chance of turning back or changing your decision.

　　You can burn your bridges when you are offered a new job. Suppose, for example, that you decide to take the new job. You tell your old boss about your decision. You also tell him how glad you are to leave.

　　With these words, you have burned your bridges. Your boss will never let you return to your old job.

　　The expression “burning your bridges” gets its name from similar expression, “burning your boats”. Long ago, military (connected with armies) commanders wanted to make it clear to their troops that victory was expected. To make this point. an invading (入侵) force would burn its boats after landing on an enemy shore. This made it impossible to retreat a withdraw(撤退). Only by defeating the enemy would the invading troops be able to return safely to their home country. In burning their boats, the invaders had burned their bridges home.

Most people who “burn their bridges” today do not belong to the military. But like those armies , they move in a new direction with no chance of turning back.

　　One part of a person's life ends suddenly, and another begins. Soon, the new life continues on a path of its own. All that remains of the old path are memories.

　　There is another expression that all bridge burners should not forget. It usually is in the form of a warning. “Don't cross your bridges until you come to them. ” The meaning is clear : Don't act until the time is right.
