279. lf you are entrepreneurial, and perhaps have already fallen behind on bills, one positive thing about the current economic climate is that you are starting over at a time when many other people are also faced with starting from scratch financially, and perhaps you may even be in a position where you literally have nothing left to lose, which can be a great time for personal innovation and taking the risk to start in a new industry or implement an idea that's always been in the back of your mind.
如果你有創業精神,而且也許早已人不敷出,當前的經濟形勢具有對你有利的一面,那就是很多人和你一樣面臨著資金上從零開始的局面;也許,你已經處于破釜沉舟的境地,這正是自我創新的大好時機:你可以冒險在一個新的行業中開始,或者將某個一直縈繞于心的想法付諸實施。
六級詞匯講解:
本句的主干是...one positive thing..is that...。If you are entrepreneurial, ...on bills 是條件狀語從句。第一個that引導的長句that you are starting over...in the back of your mind...為one positive thing的表語從句。其中when引導定語從句when many other people...修飾time; where引導的定語從句修飾position,which引導的非限制性定語從句修飾perhaps you may even be in..,left to lose。
fall behind在句中意為"交不上,付不起",其本義為"落后于"。如:
We don't want to fall behind our competitors.
我們可不想落后于我們的競爭者。
start from scratch意為"從頭干起,白手起家"。如:
My company was started from scratch with $500 borrowed from my father.
我的公司算是白手起家,當初我向父親借了500美元。
implement意為"執行,竇施"。如:
The local government is implementing a new policy to help the old people.
當地政府正在實施一項新的政策以扶助老人。
n. 創新,革新
