   核心句型:

  We can only rely on this new product to tip the scales.
  我们只能通过这款新产品扭转局势。
  tip the scales 中scales是“天平”之意,英语语言认为在极小的干扰下,天平具有恢复自身平衡的能力;而tip 有“使倾斜”的意思,所以这个短语指打破原有平衡,进入一种新秩序,即:“扭转局势”的意思。因此,当美国人说"We can only rely on this new product to tip the scales."时,他/她要表达的意思就是:"We have to change the situation by releasing the new product."、"The only way of turning the tables lies in the new product."。
  情景对白:
  Boss: We must ensure the success of our new product launch. We can only rely on this new product to tip the scales.
  老板:一定要保证这次新产品发布会的成功举办,我们只能通过这款新产品扭转局势了。
  Benjamin: Yes, you can count on it. And I hope we can win customer's trust again.
  本杰明:是的,您尽管放心好了。我希望我们能再次赢得客户的信任。
  搭配句积累:
  ①How do we deal with the declining turnover1?
  我们该如何应对逐渐下滑的营业额?
  ②Our new product totally overturns the previous outdated2 ones.
  我们的新产品完全颠覆了以往的过时产品。
  ③Customers have lost interest in our products these years.
  近来年,顾客对我们的产品失去了兴趣。
  ④Our previous product made our company come into a credibility crisis.
  我们上一款产品令公司陷入了诚信危机。
