什麼Non-starter ?
母語人士的回答
Rebecca
在口語中, non-starter指的是可能成功或收效甚微的計劃或想法。當我說the idea of returning them to the ocean now is a non-starter不是一個the idea of returning them to the ocean now is a non-starter ,我的意思是這不是一個非常成功的計劃,因為如果白鯨將鯨魚放歸野外幾乎是不可能生存的。示例: Although the proposal sounded like a good idea, it was a non-starter. The company had no money to put towards the project. (該計劃聽起來不錯,但似乎不太可能成功。該公司沒有足夠的資金來投資該項目。)例子: I had a plan for adopting a dog, but it was a non-starter. My parents vetoed the idea. (我本來打算養一隻小狗,但由於父母的反對而白費了。)
