英语⼝语频道为⼤家整理的⽇常英语⼝语8000句:失败后另起炉灶,供⼤家参考:)
关键词:back to the drawing board 重新开始;失败后另起炉灶;重来⼀次
短语释义:今天我们要学习的短语是:back to the drawing board。A drawing board是制图板。⼀个⼯程是从绘制蓝图开始的,⽽在过去蓝图是在绘图板上绘制的。若是按这个蓝图进⾏⼯作时发现不可⾏,那就得回到绘图板重新绘图,也就是go back to the drawing-board.这个短语⾯意思是回到制图板去,实际上它的意思是:Start again on a new design or plan after the failure of an earlier attempt. 当我们要表⽰由于某个计划,⽅案或设计等⾏不通时“从头开始”“推倒重来”时,我们就可以⽤back to the drawing board这个短语来表⽰。
情景领悟:

2. Since he was back to the drawing board, he's been very successful.
