<< review queue entry 59776 - submitted by 'goldyn_chyld' >> B: 原指溺水时人活下去的唯一希望，一个人在掉落到水中，突然发现一根稻草，然后通过空心稻草在水下进行呼吸才能得救。现多用比喻义，指困境中的唯一希望。且多用于贬义语境。 正例：香港电影衰退期，《无间道》成救命稻草。 老板多样化是公司不想让你知道的，但这绝对是你的事业的救命稻草。 Boss diversity is the one kind companies don't talk to you about, but it can save your career. 对了，还有两种计划都是在白天没有足够时间去完成任务的人的救命稻草！ Oh, and both schedules can be lifesavers for people who just don't have enough hours in the day! 这位律师说：“这个人说是一个闯进屋子里来偷东西的人杀死他的妻子的。可是，没有任何迹象证明有贼破门而入，而这个丈夫却被发现手里拿着枪。他只不过是为了不想坐牢而要捞救命稻草罢了。” This man claims that a burglar shot his wife. But there was no sign a robber had broken in and the husband was found with a gun in his hand. He's just grasping at straws trying to stay out of jail. |
