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？

Exactly. So, a 'bruise' as a noun

正是如此。是以，"瘀傷 "作為一個名詞

is that kind of dark

是那種黑暗的

area of skin when you walk into a table

走進桌子時的皮膚區域

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,

我們可以用什麼來代替 "瘀傷"？

Well, bruising isn't that common,

But, 'Rishinomics', what is that?
