輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第130期:寡不敵衆

核心句型：
As being outnumbered, we failed.
我們寡不敵衆，輸掉了。
be outnumbered直譯過來就是：“數量上被超過了”，引申過來就是：“寡不敵衆”，形容由於人數較少而輸掉比賽等。因此，當美國人說"As being outnumbered, we failed."時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"The number of our attendees was not enough so we failed."、"Our teammates are not as many as our opponent's, so we failed."。
情景對白：
Terry: I'm so sorry that I couldn't fight with you, Ben. So what's the result?
泰瑞：真抱歉，我沒能跟你們並肩作戰，本。結果如何？
Benjamin: As being outnumbered, we failed.
