  Nose dive

  

  Nose就是鼻子,dive是俯冲,或者是跳水。不管是俯冲,还是跳水,他们都是指急剧地往下降。当一架飞机开始nose dive的时候,它突然尾巴向上,鼻子向下快速地往地面下降。可是,nose dive也可以用在生活的其他各方面。例如,一家报纸报导说:

  例句-3: "Today the stock market took a nosedive and dropped 25 points."

  这句话的意思是:"今天股票市场的价格猛跌,下降了二十五点。"

  一个人的工作,或事业也可以出现nose dive这样的现象。美国报纸可能会这样报导有关好莱坞电影明星的情况:

  例句-4: "Everybody thought this young actor would have a brilliant future after he starred in two pictures that made a lot of money. Then he appeared in three films that nobody want to see, and his career took a nose dive -- no producer wants him any more."

  这句话是说:"大家都以为那个年轻演员,在演了两部盈利非常高的电影后,一定会前途无穷的。可是后来,他又演了三部谁都不要看的电影。这样,哪个制片人都不要他了,他的影台生涯从此就一落千丈。"

  你认为小朋友应该看电视吗?

  Base on the fact that most of children they are teenagers who lack of experience on self-discipline, if they exposed too much to television, they would have a big chance to get addicted to TV programs, which would definitely contribute to serious nose dive on their study performance. In this case, they should be strictly controlled and monitored on television watching.

  事实上,小朋友大部分都是一些没有自控能力的青少年,如果他们看太多电视的话,他们很可能会上瘾,那一定会导致他们的学习表现大幅度跳水.根据这个问题,他们看电视的时间应该被严格地控制和监管。
