譯文 更糟糕的是，一個(gè)自私的賭徒會(huì)忽略他對于家庭的經(jīng)濟(jì)責(zé)任，并且最終賭博將成為毀滅生活的一劑毒藥。
點(diǎn)睛 at the even worse意為“更糟糕的是……”。在論證中用此句式引出“遞進(jìn)”的邏輯論證，程度上實(shí)現(xiàn)進(jìn)一步深化，將worse改為better可以表達(dá)進(jìn)一步向“好”的方面轉(zhuǎn)變。表示“經(jīng)濟(jì)上的責(zé)任”一般可以用financial duties。與本句類似的例句如下：
At the even worse, the glamour of the honeymoon soon gives way to empty hours in which the newlyweds must find meaning. 更糟糕的是，蜜月的魅力不久就被空洞的日子所取代，在這些日子里新婚夫婦們必須從中尋找到生活的意義。
