Main Topic: sink or swim

本日主題:成敗全靠自己(請看內文,會更清楚喔!!!)

If you are left to "sink or swim," you are given no help so that you succeed or fail completely by your own effortsSince my manager asked me to take over the project but gave me no help. I felt like I was just left to sink or swim.   

如果你正處於"sink or swim",沒有人給你任何的幫助,所以成功或失敗都是看你付出多少努力。自從我的主管要求我接下這個專案,但是並沒有提供給我任何的幫助。我覺得我可能在面對一個sink or swim的情境。    

 

Before we look into "sink or swim," we need the image to rise first. When you are in a deep water pool, you need to make a decision either sink or swim. If you sink, you will drown. If you swim, you will have a chance to be safe. All the efforts are completely made by you. Thus we use "sink or swim" to refer to a situation in which you will fail if you do not make a lot of effort.  picture.1
在我們探究"sink or swim"以前,我們需要有一些影像在腦海浮現。當你在一深潭之中時,你需要做決定,到底是該奮力一游(swim),或是坐以待斃(sink)。如果你選擇奮力一游,你將有機會安全上岸。所有的努力都是自己決定要付出多少的。因此,我們使用"sink or swim",來表達一個情境,如果你不奮力一搏,你將注定失敗。  picture.1
