篇一：英语翻译详细解释
1.Basket的意思就是“篮子”。比如说，要是一个人在一次事故中失去了四肢，他就变得毫无能力来料理自己的生活，只能让人家把他放在一只篮子里抬来抬去。这种毫无能力和希望的情景就是basket case的意思。Basket case经常被用来形容那些很穷的国家，它们的人民饥寒交迫，毫无希望。有的时候，basket case也是指那些老是亏钱，即将倒闭的企业。我们来举个例子吧：
例句-1: I'm really worried - our company is losing so much money these days that if things don't get better in the next two months we'll be a basket case and have to go out of business.
这个人说：我真是非常担心，我们公司这些日子亏损了那么多钱，要是在今后两个月里情况没有好转的话，我们就彻底没有希望，只好倒闭了。
Basket case也可以用半开玩笑的口气来指个别人，就像下面这个人。他正在找工作，刚刚到一个公司去面谈回来：
例句-2: They made me wait so long for the interview that I was a basket case by the time I finally got called in. I've never been so nervous! I stammered, I stuttered--I almost couldn't remember my own name.
这人说：他们让我等了很久才和我面谈。等到他们叫我进去的时候，我根本就不行了。我从来就没有这样紧张过，结结巴巴地说不出话来，差一点连自己的名字都忘了。
