scramble 的意思是匆忙行動(dòng)、爭(zhēng)奪。 As migrants and asylum-seekers have crossed America's southern border in record numbers this year, the U.S. Border Patrol has scrambled to adapt. 由于今年有創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄人數(shù)的移民和尋求庇護(hù)者跨越美國(guó)南部邊境,美國(guó)邊境巡邏隊(duì)一直窮于應(yīng)對(duì)。
The Democrats' scramble to win the union vote comes at a time of century-low union membership – at only 10.5 percent of American workers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 民主黨爭(zhēng)取贏得工會(huì)票數(shù)的努力正趕上本世紀(jì)工會(huì)成員人數(shù)最低的時(shí)候,據(jù)美國(guó)勞工統(tǒng)計(jì)局統(tǒng)計(jì),工會(huì)會(huì)員人數(shù)僅占美國(guó)工人總數(shù)的10.5%
