   核心句型:

  As being outnumbered, we failed.
  我们寡不敌众,输掉了。
  be outnumbered直译过来就是:“数量上被超过了”,引申过来就是:“寡不敌众”,形容由于人数较少而输掉比赛等。因此,当美国人说"As being outnumbered, we failed."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"The number of our attendees was not enough so we failed."、"Our teammates are not as many as our opponent's, so we failed."。
  情景对白:
  Terry: I'm so sorry that I couldn't fight with you, Ben. So what's the result?
  泰瑞:真抱歉,我没能跟你们并肩作战,本。结果如何?
  Benjamin: As being outnumbered, we failed.
  本杰明:我们寡不敌众,输掉了。
