The phrase "come hell or high water" typically means "do whatever needs to be done, no matter the circumstances". It also refers to the "hell or high water clause" in a contract, usually a lease, which states that the payments must continue regardless of any difficulties the paying party may encounter. Both definitions apply to different parts of the plot in this movie. (IMDB)


其实还是一语双关。

原以为是指地下的石油。查了词典，是英语里的成语，Hell or high water，赴汤蹈火或排除万难的意思。电影里，设立trust fund的律师，让他们在周五前完成时，说了这句话。

Hell or high water通常用于表达不顾一切的，非常有决心的做一件事情。比如我一定要过这门课，"I will pass it, come hell or high water!".
