Who cares？
谁管那么多？
这句话要表达的意思就是说没什么人会关心这事。而通常情况下，它的意思是“It doesn't matter！”比如说你的朋友很容易杞人忧天，你会说“Who cares？”来安抚对方说事情没那么严重，不用太在意。

由care来侃侃。I couldn't care less.这句话的意思是“我不在乎”，“缺乏兴趣”（lack of interest），也就是：I don't care at all.或I don't give a hoot.I couldn't care more.就是“我很在乎”，英文解释为：I care a lot.或I care deeply.

A man without distant care must have near sorrow.
人无远虑必有近忧。
care：通常是照顾；管理；或是小心的意思。比如：Give more care to your health.多注意你的健康。而此处的care是指忧虑；烦恼；挂念。再来一招吧：He is free from all care.他无忧无虑。be free from all care是一个短语，与carefree的意思相同，意为“从……中摆脱出来，获得自由”；all care 所有忧虑，是说“他从所有忧虑中摆脱出来”，意即“无忧无虑”。

I give you an inch，and you take a yard.
你太得寸进尺了。
此句中文含义表示“不知分寸，爱占便宜”。也可说：“I gave him an inch，and he wanted to take a mile.”

相同意思的英文表达还有：If I give you a piece of cake，you're going to ask for a glass of milk./Give him an inch and he'll take an ell./push one's luck当某人借着他之前的好运气，继续做冒险的事情，这种状态我们就可以说“push/press his luck”，与中文里“得寸进尺”的意思相近。例如：Last time you did pass the exam，but don't push your luck this time.It's much more difficult.上一次你确实通过了考试，但是这次不要再试你的运气了。这次会难很多。

You are completely out to lunch.
你脑子进水了啊！
out to lunch英文解释为crazy，mad字面意思“出去吃午饭了”，此处引申义为“某人脑子不清楚；做白日梦；不专注；疯狂的；魂不守舍的”。
E语范特西
为了加重效果，除了“lunch”之外还可加上“dinner”，比如：“From his outlandish statements，I think your friend is out to lunch.”(从你朋友稀奇古怪的话看来，我觉得他愚不可及，没救了)。这可是比较狠的说法，算是损人算到家。有趣的是，crazy这个词也有“太棒了，好极了”的意味。既然out to lunch有crazy的意思，所以也被借用这个意思，比如：“That painting is out to lunch！”(那幅画简直棒极了！)。所以如果以后碰到这个说法，要根据上下文来断定其在情景中的意思。
励志E言E语
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
天下没有免费的午餐。
补充一点：There is no such thing as a free lunch.Success doesn't come to anyone who sits back and does nothing at all.You'll have to work very hard to achieve it.As they say，“As you sow，so will you reap.”天下没有免费的午餐。坐享其成、不努力的人是不会成功的。你必须要很努力才能获致成功。有道是：“一分耕耘，一分收获。”
在最后一句话中，so will you reap是倒装句。so+助动词+主语的倒装。当要表示前面提出的某一肯定的情况也同样适合于后者，通常要用so+助动词+主语这种倒装结构。

补充一点：I have a nut to crack with you.我有件棘手的事情要同你商量。nut 有“坚果”的意思，因为坚果总是很硬，所以这个词可以表示“难以解决的问题，难事”的意思。crack with sb.意思是“与某人商量解决（难题等的）方法”。
