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
