weather v.
释义：to deal successfully with a difficult situation or a problem
“weather”作为名词是“天气”的意思，也常用作动词，表示“渡过（难关）” “从困难中挺过来”。在一些语境中，使用 weather 比 deal with 或者 experience 更准确。
weather 表示这个意思的时候，后面常接有负向含义的名词，例如 crisis/recession/criticism/scandal。
例① 夫妻刚结婚的时候难免要熬过一段适应期：
The couple had to weather some difficult times in the early years of their marriage.
例② 像阿里巴巴这样的企业，创业过程中有过丑闻，经历过大风大浪。
Over the past 20 years, Alibaba has weathered storms and scandals.（weather the storm 是个习惯表达，表示“渡过难关”）
例③《经济学人》在报道石油巨头 ExxonMobil 时就用到了 weather 的这种用法：
It has weathered lawsuits over everything from a leaky petrol station to abetting torture in Indonesia.
这里的 lawsuit 也是有负面意义的名词，说明它虽然官司不断，但是最终都能挺过来。
翻译：这家公司从经济危机中挺了过来，最终得以蓬勃发展。
This company weathered the financial crisis and boomed eventually.
（参考翻译: The company weathered the financial crisis and ultimately thrived.）
