英语翻译
A:How is your grandpa now?
B:We thought he was on his deathbed but now he’s taken a turn for the better.
A:Taken a turn for the better?
B:It means to “improve.” The antonym is to “take a turn for the worse,” meaning to “get worse,deteriorate.” This idiom employs turn in the sense of “a reversal,” a usage dating from about 1600.
A:Could you give me one more example?
B:Sure.“Unemployment has been fairly high lately,but now the economy’s taken a turn for the better.”
A:I hope you didn’t just make that up.

A:你爷爷现在怎么样了?
B:我们本以为他将奄奄一息的,但是他在死亡道路上逆转了.
A:逆转?
B:是指他变好了.逆转是前进的反义词,往死亡道路上走是指病情退步,更糟.这句词汇用的是把turn用成回头,回复,一种1600年就存在的用法.
A:能不能再给个例子?
B:好的.“失业率一直都很高,但是最近经济局势逆转了.”
A:我希望你说的不是虚的.
