Hi LiJ Without any additional context, I would interpret the both usages of "through" to mean "finished".

Thanks, Amy!
Your interpretation is the same as mine.
As for the latter 'you are through', what do you think 'you are finished' with?

It's hard to say exactly what the intended meaning is without any context.
It might simply mean something similar to "finished with school work".
It might mean something like "you have successfully passed through (finished) this portion of the course and have graduated to the next level".
Hopefully the intended meaning wasn't "doomed to death and destruction".

LiveinjapanWhen you are through learning you are through.One possible interpretation.
When you are no longer curious enough about the world around you to learn new things, you may as well consider your life finished.
