Q

The injured dog had some difficulty going home. Every stephe took, he slipped back two. However, he still managed to get home. How did he do it？
有一只受伤的狗，它走回家很困难，它每走一步就往后滑两步，然而，它依然到家了。它是怎么做到的？

A

He walked in the other direction！
它往反方向走！

点睛一笔

slip的意思是“滑动，滑到”。短语slip back的意思就是“倒退”。manage的意思是“控制，设法”，短语manage to的意思是“设法完成”。这只受伤的狗每往前走一步就后退两步，就等于它往后走了一步，所以，它往反方向走就意味着它在往家的方向后退。
