Lame ducks
Explanation: Companies in trouble and needing outside help are also often referred to as lame ducks, likening them to birds with difficulty in walking.
Lame ducks可以用來(lái)指遇到困難或者需要外部援助的那些企業(yè)，從字面上看，就是把這些企業(yè)比做行動(dòng)不便的鴨子。請(qǐng)看例句：
The manufacturing method of Rover, once the lame ducks of British industry, have been transformed thanks to that company’s partnership with Honda.
Rover公司的生產(chǎn)制造方法曾經(jīng)是英國(guó)工業(yè)的老大難，現(xiàn)在由于Rover 同Honda公司的合作，該公司的生產(chǎn)方法已經(jīng)順利轉(zhuǎn)型。
