迷你对话:

A :They got a divorce at last.

他们最终还是离婚了。

B:It's inenvitable. Their love wasbuilt on the sand, and this is why their marriage has landed on the rocks.

这是不可避免的,他们的爱情缺乏坚实的基础,这就是他们是婚姻频临破裂的原因所在。

A:You said it. Love buit on the sand will soon be on the rocks.

你说得对,缺乏坚实基础的爱情很快就会出现裂缝。

B:That give us a good lesson.

这给予我们一个很好的教训。

地道表达:

built on the sand

小编讲解:

这个习语的字面意思就是“建立在沙土上”,我们知道沙土是很软的,不能支撑人或重的物体,因此引申为“不切实际”或“基础不牢”。

支持范例:

Eg.I'm not surprised to learn that this company is in debt-he has very little experience of business, and the whole organization was built on sand.

听到他公司亏空负债,我一点也不感到意外—他对商业不内行,整个体制的基础都不牢固。
