生活中,我们经常遇到一些耳熟能详,甚至习以为常的词汇,却不知道英文中有没有相应的地道表达。比如提到创业,我们经常会听到“白手起家”,“一夜暴富”和“屌丝逆袭”等。今天就让你知道他们的正确说法!
通常的英文表达是: start from scratch scratch 做动词时表示 “抓、划破”;
做名词时表示“抓痕、乱写、起跑线”。 今天咱们讲的 scratch 取 “起跑线”这层含义, 即“最初的原点”。
下面咱们学习几个例句, 运用一下“start from scratch”: ① He started his
company from scratch, and now it is a multimillion dollar
business. 他白手起家创建了他的公司,现在这家企业已经价值数百万美元。 ② We should start from
scratch to make a new plan. 我们需要从头开始创建一个新的计划方案。 ③ Sometimes
it’s best to start from scratch, rather than trying to make changes
to the existing plan. 有时候最好从零开始,而非根据现有的计划进行修改。 还有一些短语 也能表示
“从头开始”。 比如: “from zero” 例句: He knows howto build a house from
zero. 他知道如何从零开始造一座房子。 再如: “start over again” 例句: Please start
over again and make a new plan. 请重新开始做一个新的方案。 高级一点的英文表达是:
rags to riches 释义: Rags to riches refers to any situation in which
a person rises from poverty to wealth, and in some cases from
absolute obscurity to heights of fame—sometimes instantly. 例句: The
case has drawn intense scrutiny globally and in China, where the
tycoon, also known as Liu Qiangdong, is celebrated for his
rags-to-riches story. 大家学会了吗?
