3. 下沉螺旋
downward spiral
请看例句:
Fewer and fewer rural students are being admitted by the top universities. This trend means there's a "downward spiral" in rural areas.
入读名牌大学的农村学生正变得越来越少,这种趋势意味着农村出现"下沉螺旋"现象。
近日,《人民日报》发表文章,称"出身越底层(the poorer the families are),上的学校越差(the more difficult it is for their children to get into a good school or college),找的工作越差(the harder it is for them to get a decent job)"的"下沉螺旋(downward spiral)"现象已然存在。
该报称,一旦这种现象成为一种普遍性趋势,则不但个体的命运将难以通过自身努力来改变,对于国家发展(national development)和社会进步(social progress)来说也是极为不利的。
"下沉螺旋"英文为downward spiral,指价格不断下降或形势不断恶化,达到恶性循环、难以控制的地步。比如:
We have to avoid the downward spiral in which unemployment leads to homelessness and then to crime.
