Lame ducks
Explanation: Companies in trouble and needing outside help are also often referred to as lame ducks, likening them to birds with difficulty in walking.
Lame ducks可以用來指遇到困難或者需要外部援助的那些企業，從字面上看，就是把這些企業比做行動不便的鴨子。請看例句：
The manufacturing method of Rover, once the lame ducks of British industry, have been transformed thanks to that company’s partnership with Honda.
Rover公司的生產制造方法曾經是英國工業的老大難，現在由于Rover 同Honda公司的合作，該公司的生產方法已經順利轉型。
