在美剧《破产姐妹》中

两位美女去推销蛋糕时被拒

于是Channing感叹道：

You were right, Max. We're just a little start-up cupcake company in a hard, hard world. You and I are on our own.

麦克斯你之前说得对，我们只是一家刚起步的小蛋糕店，在这乱世中求生存。我们俩只能 自食其力了。

“自食其力”也就是“自力更生”

所以我们也可以说成

self-reliance

/ˌself rɪˈlaɪəns/

一起来看两个例句吧：

From early boyhood Bart learned the important lesson of self-reliance.

从少年时代起，巴特便就学会了关于自力更生的重要一课。

好了，今天学习了两个表达：

on one's own

self-reliance

你都记住了吗？
