Stock prices took a roller-coaster ride this week -- down one day, up the next.
Roller-coaster本意是指游乐园里常见的过山车(亦称云霄飞车),其特点就是时而直入云霄,时而又重返大地,坐的时候感觉整个心脏都紧绷在那里,十分刺激. 而坐过山车在英文里的表达就是"take a roller-coaster ride". 而今天新闻里我们听到的roller coaster指的是其引申义,意为" a situation in which there are many big and sudden changes".中文意思就是"不断变化的局势".
