backbone
courage and determination
例句:He has a crush on Sarah, but doesn't have the backbone to ask her out.
1)翻译下面的句子:
他没有胆量,在最后一刻放弃了奖学金申请。
He didn’t have the backbone,so he gave up the application for scholarship at the last moment.
参考翻译:He didn't have the backbone and gave up the scholarship application at the last minute. 或 Lacking the backbone, he gave up the scholarship application at the last minute.
自评 : 用and连接两个句子,应该是强调并列的意思。at the last minute同样表示最后一刻。the application for scholarship和the scholarship application意思相同。
2)场景:我希望我的儿子能够像个男子汉,有勇气挑战自己。
造句:
It is well acknowledged that one's greatest enemy is actually oneself. Son,I hope you have enough backbone to challenge yourself.
