核心句型:
You have to roll with the punches if you want to survive in this business.
如果你想在这一行生存下去的话,就得逆来顺受。
roll with the punches直译过来就是:“顺着拳头打来的方向转身”,这个短语的正确意思是:“逆来顺受,大事化小”。因此,当美国人说"You have to roll with the punches if you want to survive in this business."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"You should sit down under it if you want to survive in this business."、"You should be obliged to submit if you want to survive in this business."。
