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

Examples

Plans to construct a new motorway will fall at the first hurdle if they can't buy the farmland to build it on.

His dream of marrying Julie fell at the first hurdle when he discovered she was already married.

To fall at the first hurdle 的意思就是“倒在第一关”。Ah, but Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob">Rob, why don't you actually taste one of these muffins before you call me a failure?

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.

I know. Perhaps I'll just sell these ones first and see how I get on.

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?
