六级词汇讲解:
at the even worse意为“更糟糕的是……”。在论证中用此句式引出“递进”的逻辑论证,程度上实现进一步深化,将worse改为better可以表达进一步向“好”的方面转变。表示“经济上的责任”一般可以用financial duties。与本句类似的例句如下:
At the even worse, the glamour of the honeymoon soon gives way to empty hours in which the newlyweds must find meaning.
更糟糕的是,蜜月的魅力不久就被空洞的日子所取代,在这些日子里新婚夫妇们必须从中寻找到生活的意义。
