straight 是個很划算的單字，可以當直的(形容詞)、不轉彎地(副詞)、直男(名詞)、坦白地(副詞)，
今天讀到新聞，因為Covid 19，美國預期壽命連續兩年下降，學到可以用來表示連續不間斷。
U.S. life expectancy down for second-straight year, fueled by covid-19 – The Washington Post
剛好最近米其林公布，應景造句一下：
The restaurant has been awarded Michelin 3-star for 4 straight years. 那家餐廳連續四年獲得米其林三星殊榮。
可改寫成 The restaurant has been awarded Michelin 3-star for fourth straight year. 那家餐廳已連續第四年獲得米其林三星殊榮。
2以上數字 + straight years (年用複數)
第2~類推 (second/third/fourth/fifth…) + straight year (年用單數)
直接在時間或名詞後面接 straight
- During the peak season, we often work 12 hours straight. 在旺季，我們常常連續工作12小時。
- Even though he lost two straight, he won the final match. 雖然他連輸兩場，他還是贏得最後一場比賽。
