一起来看真正的意思
01
“highs and lows”是什么意思？
先来看英文词典的解释：
If you refer to the highs and lows of someone's life or career, you are referring to both the successful or happy times, and the unsuccessful or bad times.
即：highs and lows指生活或事业中，有成功或快乐的时光，也有不成功或糟糕的时光。
所以highs and lows意思是：起起落落；沉浮
例：
Jane talked about the highs and lows of her career in film.
Jane谈到了自己电影生涯的起起落落。
“起起落落；沉浮”还有个常用短语：ups and downs
例：
Like most married couples we've had our ups and downs, but life's like that.
和大多数已婚夫妇一样，我们也经历过沉浮波折，但生活就是如此。
02
“心情复杂”英文怎么说？
“心情复杂；喜忧参半”英语可以说：

03
“绊脚石”英文怎么说？
