It is easy to see how even a family which had had as good food as it wished and a few extras could be down to bread and scrape the barrel inside a month if the "demon drink" took hold. 即使是一個(gè)本來(lái)想吃得好些就能吃得好些、尚有盈余可供某些別的開(kāi)支的家庭,倘若嗜上酒來(lái),則在不到一個(gè)月的時(shí)間里,就可以窮落下來(lái),以致只能吃面包及必須掏盡家底,不難明白這種現象究竟是怎么回事。
We had to scrape the barrel to get a full team, and then we lost 6-1. 我們勉強湊成一個(gè)隊,結果以6比1輸了。
