【句子】I have three kids, and at least one of them is going to college. Worst case scenario, they all go. 【ModernFamilyS3E08】 【发音】/aɪ/ /hæv/ /θriː/ /kɪdz/ /ənd/ /æt/ /liːst/ /wʌn/ /əv/ /ðəm/ /ɪz/ /ˈgəʊ.ɪŋ/ /tʊ/ /ˈkɒl.ɪdʒ/ /ˈkɑː.lɪdʒ/ /wɜː(r)st/ /keɪs/ /səˈner.i.əʊ/ /ðeɪ/ /ɔːl/ /ɑːl/ /gəʊ/【发音技巧】and at least连读+不完全爆破;one of连读;worst case失去爆破;【翻译】我有三个孩子,至少有一个会上大学的。最差的情况是,三个都会去上大学。【适用场合】 今天我们学习一下什么叫做worst case scenario,worst 大家都知道是“最差的、最糟糕的”这个意思;case 有“情况”的意思;scenario可以指“情节;梗概”;所以这个短语的意思你们应该都知道是什么意思了。一个情景中的能发生的最差、最糟糕的事情;经常也会写成worst-case scenario,前俩词当中加了连字符;the most unpleasant or serious thing which could happen in a situation在口语中你可以直接说:the worst case scenario is...也可以说in the worst case scenario, ... 都很常见。下面一起来看几个例子:eg: The worst-case scenario would be for the factory to be closed down. 最差的情况是那家工厂被关闭。eg: We don't expect it to happen, but we need to plan for the worst-case scenario.我们也不希望最差的情况发生,但是我们需要为此做好准备。eg: In the worst-case scenario, we're all dead.最差的情况就是,我们都死了。eg: In the worst-case scenario, we'll lose control of the company.最差的情况就是,我们会失去对这家公司的控制。其实呢,英语中也有best-case scenario这样的说法,表示“最好的情况;目前这个情况下能发生的最好的事情”;那下面再来看看几个best-case scenario的例子;eg: The best-case scenario is that he will be only an hour late—traffic on his route is at a standstill.目前来看,最好的情况就是他只迟到一个小时--他这一路全堵死了,一动不动。eg: The doctor said that the best-case scenario is an operable tumor.医生说,最好的情况就是这是一个可以被手术切除的肿瘤。【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】The worst-case scenario here is that we lose the next three games and miss the playoffs. The best-case scenario is that we win out and get a bye in the first round.
