題目句子:
The owner is worried that his restaurant is ______ again. He needs to cut down more costs.
句意是:
「老闆擔心他的餐廳又出現某種狀況,他需要進一步削減成本。」
? 從「cut down more costs(削減成本)」可推斷,餐廳應該是虧損了、財務狀況不好。
? 選項解析:
(A) in the pink ❌
-
意思是:身體健康、狀況很好
-
與「削減成本、擔憂」語氣矛盾
? 例:She’s in the pink after recovering from illness.
(B) in the red ✅
-
意思是:虧損、赤字中(會計用語)
-
非常常見的商業慣用語
-
和「需要削減成本」的上下文完全搭配
? 例:The company has been in the red for months.
(C) feeling blue ❌
-
意思是:感到憂鬱、心情不好(用在人)
-
不能用來形容「餐廳」的狀況
(D) having a green finger ❌
-
英式說法:擅長園藝的人(= have a green thumb)
-
完全與句意無關
✅ 正確答案:
(B) in the red
? 延伸學習:商業財務慣用語
-
in the red → 虧損中
-
in the black → 有盈餘
-
tighten the belt → 節省開支
