Well they are burnt. Let's hear some examples of other people who have fallen at the first hurdle….

Examples

OK, I'm sorry for doubting you… but you're going to have to sell lots of muffins if you want to be a millionaire.

Good idea. Just make sure you don't fall at the final hurdle!

在最后时刻跌倒？You mean fail near the end of what I'm trying to do?
