عبارت انگلیسی
sunk
معنی و توضیح
In this podcast, the word “sunk” means in a very difficult position, probably going to fail at doing something, and without any hope: “If this doesn’t work, we’re sunk!” A “sinking feeling” means an unpleasant feeling that one believes something bad will happen: “Chad says he has a sinking feeling that the project is off to a bad start.” If someone’s “heart sinks” or “spirits sink,” that person starts to lose confidence or optimism: “Vicky’s heart sank as the doctor told her his diagnosis.” Finally, the phrase “to sink so low” means to be so selfish or cruel that one does something very bad: “Sheila never trusted Carl, yet she never expected him to sink so low as to cheat on his wife.” 3 these materials on another website or distributing them in any way is prohibited. www.easytalk.ir English as a Second Language Podcast www.eslpod.com ESL Podcast 879 – Saying No
