看《经济学人》,发现一个有趣的表达:
【Nice guys finish last.】
这里的 finish 表示“以某一名词结束比赛“,如 He finished the second in the game.(他在比赛中得了第二),那么 finish last 表示"最后一名"。
词典中对这句话的定义是:
People who are decent, friendly, and agreeable tend to be unsuccessful because they are outmaneuvered or overwhelmed by others who are not so decent, friendly, or agreeable.译:体面、友好、和善的人总不太成功,因为他们拼不过那些不体面、不友好、不和善的人。好扎心[苦涩]
