“最坏条件”可以翻译为 "worst-case scenario" 或 "worst-case condition"。
"worst-case scenario" 是更常用的表达,指可能发生的最不利或最糟糕的情况。例如:We need to prepare for the worst-case scenario in case the project fails.(我们需要为项目失败的最坏情况做好准备。)
"worst-case condition" 强调具体条件或状况,用法类似但稍显正式或技术化。例如:The system must operate reliably under worst-case conditions.(系统必须在最坏条件下可靠运行。)
