在英语里,the writing‘s on the wall 可以用来比喻不好的事情即将发生。比如,有人要被裁员了、公司要倒闭了等倒霉的事情。
- Susie saw the writing on the wall and decided to quit before her company was taken over by the administrators.
- I should have seen the writing on the wall when I bought my house. It‘s falling apart and now I have to spend a fortune renovating it.
值得注意的是,在美式英语中,人们常说 the handwriting‘s on the wall, 意思与 the writing‘s on the wall 相同。
