1.這是什么詞袱瓮？

2. 為什么選這個(gè)詞已烤？
“cut-throat”的字面意思是“切喉”，常常用來表示“冷酷無情的”停忿，是個(gè)充滿畫面感的常見單詞。當(dāng)我們想描述競爭非常激烈時(shí)蚊伞，除了用 fierce, tough, severe 之外席赂，還可以用到 cut-throat，強(qiáng)調(diào)競爭的殘酷無情时迫，為達(dá)到目標(biāo)而不擇手段颅停。
cut-throat 的使用比較簡單，常和表示領(lǐng)域（比如 industry, business 和 world）掠拳、競爭和價(jià)格的詞一起搭配使用癞揉。我們可以用 cut-throat 來描述某一行業(yè)領(lǐng)域的競爭激烈。比如碳想，最近關(guān)于錘子科技的報(bào)道不斷烧董，其中一個(gè)關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)是智能手機(jī)行業(yè)競爭激烈，日趨飽和胧奔，就可以說：
The competition in the smartphone industry is cut-throat.
或者
The smartphone business is cut-throat and relentless.（這里的 relentless 和 cut-throat 是同義表達(dá)逊移，放在一起起強(qiáng)調(diào)作用，這兩個(gè)詞可以一起記下來龙填。）
看看《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》是怎么用 cut-throat 的：
1）Ride-hailing, like many online businesses, is a cut-throat, winner-takes-all market: Didi itself is the product of a 2015 merger of two local firms.
2）Once state support for AT&T's monopoly status was removed, the phone market became cut-throat.
3）Amazon's cut-throat pricing has lowered online inflation by about one percentage point.
3. 怎樣學(xué)會使用這個(gè)詞胳泉？
1）翻譯下面的句子：
在這個(gè)競爭激烈的世界拐叉，只有適者才能生存。
In this cut-throat world, only the fittest will survive.
（參考翻譯：In this cut-throat world, only the fittest will survive/prevail.）
2）結(jié)合自己的生活扇商、學(xué)習(xí)凤瘦、工作、興趣等案铺，想象在什么語境下會用到這個(gè)表達(dá)蔬芥。先簡要描述這個(gè)場景，再造句控汉。
例子：游戲行業(yè)
場景：Many British developers were swallowed by American publishers, who relocated studios and staff to Canada and the United States, where games developers qualify for hefty tax breaks. The introduction of a tax break to game industry similar to one offered to film producers may bring some jobs back. Yet perhaps the best news for Britain’s industry has to do with changes in the way games are played and sold. The game industry in Britain is fast evolving and in a way that benefits in dependent developers, of which there are many in Britain. Many game companies distribute their games directly, through Apple’s app store and similar services. That side of the games industry is booming. Many small game companies were started in Britain in the past decade. These smaller developers face cut-throat competition now. But there is plenty of reward for those who succeed.
