吃亏英语怎么说

你平时吃过亏吗？吃亏用英语又怎么说呢？在口语里我们常用to get the short end of the stick来表达吃亏的意思。 End就是末端，stick就是一根棍子。To get the short end of the stick，作为俗语，它的意思就是：你在某一件事上吃了亏。中文里，亏与盈相对，表示的是没有占到便宜、没有捞到好处。英文中，短的一头与长的一头相对，据说，这种表达方式于拔河比赛，输的一方手里握着绳子短的一头。而习语后半部分的stick是随着时间的演变加上去的。 我们来举一个例子就能说明这个习惯用语的真正含义。一个人跟其他两个朋友合伙做生意。但是他最后损失了很多钱。你听了他讲的话就会知道是怎么回事了。他说： My two partners and I each put up one-third of the money to start our business. But I was the only one to lend the company more money. So when it went bankrupt， I was left with the short end of the stick. 我跟其他两个合伙者每人拿出三分之一的资金来开办我们的公司。但是，只有我一个人为公司提供了的贷款。所以，当这个公司破产的时候，我就吃亏了。 （编辑：赵颖茹）
