There is no evidence that we are at fault.当你说我们应该受到责备的时候，你并没有充足的立场。没有任何证据表明是我们的错。eg: The case for relying solely on nuclear energy seems to be on dangerous ground.只依靠核能源的想法似乎很不可靠。eg: I think you're on very shaky ground with that argument.我觉得你的那个观点站不住脚。（看到这个例句让我想到了我们一起讲过的一个短语hold water，也可以表达：“站得住脚”这个意思）eg: At least one factory is on shaky ground, and the town expects more to shut down.至少一家工厂有可能要被关掉，而且镇上还希望更多的工厂被关闭。【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】One thing is clear: where cultural freedom is at risk, the free market is also on shaky ground.
