今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 precipice.
precipice 原是指懸崖絕壁,或者危險(xiǎn)的境地。 With cellphones becoming more sophisticated, internet becoming faster, and VR headsets becoming cheaper, we are at the precipice of a whole new virtual world. 隨著手機(jī)越來(lái)越復(fù)雜,網(wǎng)絡(luò)越來(lái)越快,虛擬實(shí)景眼鏡越來(lái)越便宜,我們即將墜入一個(gè)全新的虛擬世界。
Officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced recently that drug-overdose deaths in the US are on the precipice of declining for the first time in decades. 美國(guó)疾病控制和預(yù)防中心的官員最近宣布,美國(guó)因用藥過(guò)量死亡的人數(shù)正處在下降邊緣,這是數(shù)十年來(lái)次第一次。
