have one's back to the wall不要理解為“背靠著墻”的那種舒適,相反,它用來比喻沒有退路、情況危急、處境困難或窮途末路,經(jīng)常可以用在商業(yè)領(lǐng)域,形容公司面臨的嚴(yán)峻形勢。

【例句】
He owes money to everyone - he really has his back to the wall now.
他欠每個人錢——他現(xiàn)在真是窮途末路了。

The company has its back against the wall and if the employees do not help out now, it will be bankrupt soon.
公司現(xiàn)在情況危急,如果員工現(xiàn)在不幫助公司,公司很快就會破產(chǎn)。
