Liz Truss beat Rishi Sunak earlier in a leadership contest this summer.

利茲-特拉斯在今年夏天早些時候的領導力競爭中擊敗了裡希-蘇納克。

Now, the headline says he's bounced back.

現在，頭條新聞說他已經反彈了。

But The Times described that defeat as 'bruising'.

但《泰晤士報》將這次失敗描述為 "傷痕累累"。

So, a bruise is something you get when you hurt yourself. Right?

所以，瘀傷是你傷害自己時得到的東西。對嗎？

正是如此。是以，"瘀傷 "作為一個名詞

or something like that. And if you touch it, it's quite painful.

或類似的東西。如果你觸摸它，就會感到相當痛苦。

So, the headline is saying that this was a bruising,

是以，標題是說這是一次擦傷。

meaning a painful defeat for Rishi Sunak.

意味著裡希-蘇納克的一次痛苦的失敗。

Yes. And here it also means that it damages his... or damaged

是的。這裡也意味著它損害了他的......或損害了

his reputation or confidence. So, the loss damaged his reputation.

Yeah, and we can hear this adjective 'bruising' in other news headlines,

是的，我們可以在其他新聞頭條中聽到這個形容詞 "瘀傷"。

particularly when it comes to sports. Now Sian, yesterday,

特別是當它涉及到體育。現在是西恩，昨天是。

That's a bruising loss, but are there any other words

這是一個令人沮喪的損失，但還有沒有其他的說法？

我們可以用什麼來代替 "瘀傷"？

it's not really heard in everyday conversation.

在日常對話中並沒有真正聽到。

So, you might describe a defeat or a loss as 'painful', 'bitter'

是以，你可能會用 "痛苦的"、"苦澀的 "來描述一次失敗或失利。

好了，讓我們來看看下一個標題。

and specifically that Rishinomics will cause this pain.

並特別指出，利辛經濟學將導致這種痛苦。

但是，"利辛經濟學"，那是什麼？

Well, 'Rishinomics' is a playful way of combining his name, Rishi,

好吧，"Rishinomics "是他的名字 "Rishi "的一種俏皮組合方式。

with the suffix '-nomics' that comes from economics.

是以，從字面上看，"利辛經濟學"。

OK. So, is it normal to combine a name with the suffix '-nomics'?

好的。那麼，將一個名字與後綴'-nomics'結合起來是否正常？

Well, it is if you're talking about a politician and their economic policies.

好吧，如果你在談論一個政治家和他們的經濟政策，那就是。

Now, recently, a lot of people have been criticising

-Trussonomics - that's the economic policies of Liz Truss.

-Trussonomics--這就是Liz Truss的經濟政策。

And you also might have heard of Reaganomics from the 1980s in the USA.

而你也可能聽說過美國80年代的里根經濟學。

OK. So, can I start talking about Sianonomics?

好的。那麼，我可以開始談論Sianonomics了嗎？

我的意思是，如果你進入了政府。

and you become in charge of all of finance, then, yes.

而你成為所有財務的負責人，那麼，是的。

好的，請給我下一個頭條，貝絲

OK. So, the headline says that the new prime minister will need

好的。所以，標題說，新總理將需要

So, that means the whole world will be watching how he does his job. Now,

是以，這意味著整個世界都將關注他如何完成工作。現在。

我知道什麼是曲線，這就是一條曲線。

he doesn't have a lot of experience being a prime minister,

right at the beginning. OK. So, the headline

就在開始的時候。好的。所以，頭條新聞

says or means that at the start of the job

He'll learn a lot quickly, and this learning curve is described as steep.

他很快就會學到很多東西，而這個學習曲線被描述為很陡峭。

現在，如果你考慮到一個陡峭的山坡。

去爬它。它不是這樣的，很容易。

it's steep. So, it's also a difficult job.

它很陡峭。是以，這也是一個困難的工作。

Yeah. So, steep really emphasises how quickly

是的。所以，陡然間真的強調了如何快速

he will need to learn. And can we use this in other situations?

他將需要學習。那我們能在其他情況下使用這個方法嗎？

Yes, we can. So, when you start a new job, then

definitely, it can be a steep learning curve.

當然，這可能是一個陡峭的學習曲線。

Also, when you leave home for the first time,

是的，如果你搬到一個新的國家。

and also have to learn a new language, that can be a very steep learning curve.
