重點(diǎn)解說(shuō)：
★ get worse「惡化」cf. go from bad to worse「每下愈況」get better「有起色」
★ I don't know what to do with it.也可說(shuō)成I'm at a loss what to do.
★ Things are tough all over.「 萬(wàn)事皆難。」此語(yǔ)用于表示凡事均須付出代價(jià)，世上沒(méi)有什么事是輕松容易的。近似的說(shuō)法還有"No pains, no gains." "Nothing venture, nothing have [gain]."「沒(méi)有不勞而獲的事。」
★ give up「放棄」
★ do one's best「全力以赴」
