Ugly cycle是什麼意思?這是否意味著惡性循環?如果是的話,也請提供一個例子!

當然!惡性循環,也就是vicious cycle的惡性循環,在這種情況下完全成立。兩者都指向我們現在正在經歷的糟糕時期。示例: Many children who grow up in abusive families grow up to display the same behavior as adults. It's a rather vicious cycle. (在暴力家庭長大的孩子長大後往往表現得像大人,惡性循環。) 例子: My friend's boyfriend is a habitual liar. They break up and get back together constantly. It's an ugly cycle. (我朋友的男朋友有說謊的習慣,他們一次次分手又復合,惡性循環。)
