The last straw : The final additional small burden that makes the entirety of one's difficulties unbearable
(참을 수 없는 마지막 한계)
The full version of this metaphorical phrase is 'the last straw which breaks the camel's back', which has an Old Testament sound about it. Searches there produce many references to straw and camels amongst the smiting and begetting, but no 'last straw'.
A : Now it's raining!
(지금 비가 온다)
B : That's the last straw. Our mountain climbing is cancled!
(이것이 한계다. 우리의 등산은 취소다!)

as a last straw : 최후의 희망으로
Even though president Noh make efforts to host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeong chang as a last straw, Sochi was nominated for hosting city of 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
(노대통령이 최후의 희망으로 2014년 평창 동계올림픽 유치를 위해 노력했으나
소치가 동계올림픽 개최국으로 결정되었다.)
That is the last straw : 결단이 필요한 마지막 한계
(뭔가 손을 써야겠다라는 의지가 강하게 들어있는 표현입니다.)
Have a nice day!
