nose dive: 俯冲,用来比喻盈利或者价格的直线下降或者暴跌

飞机正在行驶中汽油消耗完了,或者引擎偏偏在半空中出了故障,这时这架飞机会发生什么情况呢?很可能会这样——nose dive,即飞机急速下降,换句话说是俯冲。这个习惯用语被广泛应用在航空之外的其它方面,例如股票市场或者商业贸易。

例句:It's not good news -- our profits took a real nose dive the last couple of months. In fact they're down about 50 percent from the same time last year.

这可不是什么好消息。这几个月来我们的盈利确实直线下降,和去年同期相比下降了几乎百分之五十。
