42. Since the company is in ___ financially, no banks are willing to give it a loan.

(D) terrible place

 in bad shape狀況很差

He has been in bad shape since he had the brain surgery.（腦部開刀後他身體狀況一直不好。）

● In bad shape還有一種可能，是婉轉表達懷孕了。可以從上下文情境中判斷：

I heard that Vivian is in bad shape again, about three months in bad shape.（我聽說Vivian又懷孕了，三個月了。）

「發福了」也可以用"shape"這個字，就像我們會形容一個人變圓了，用"out of shape"：

Sarah hasn’t had any exercise for several months and had a lot of burgers so she is really out of shape.（Sarah已經好幾個月都沒有做運動而且吃了很多漢堡，所以她現在身材變形得很嚴重。）

一如人的身材會變形，東西也會，例如：

My front wheel has been out of shape.（我車的前輪已經變形了。）

● 在口語中，in bad shape或in poor shape.還可以用在一種狀況，就是喝醉了：

Two glasses of that stuff and I'm in really bad shape.（兩杯酒一喝，我就醉了。）
