on a slippery slop

每日一詞---on a slippery slop


"很滑的斜坡"是什麼意思呢?它就是指A tricky precarious situation, especially one that leads gradually but inexorably to disaster, 也就是"會演變成大災難的狀況,特別是發生緩慢但無法阻止、危險又棘手的那種"。來看個例子吧~

If you let the kids stay up late a few nights you are on a slippery slop. 如果你讓小孩熬夜幾天,那可是滔天大錯。

Claypool was right; our morals can slide down a slippery slope when money gets involved. 克萊普說得對;一旦扯上金錢,我們的道德便嚴重偏軌了。
