The verbsfounder and flounder are often confused. Founder comes from a Latin word meaning .bottom. (as infoundation ) and originally referred to knocking enemies down;it is now used as well to mean .to fail utterly, collapse.. Flounder means .to move clumsily, thrash about,.and hence .to proceed in confusion..If John isfoundering in Chemistry , he had better drop the course; if he isfloundering, he may yet pull through.
动词founder 和 flounder 常被混淆。 Founder 从拉丁语演变而来， 意为.底部.（如在foundation 中）， 原指将敌人打倒在地；现在亦指.完全失败，崩溃.。 Flounder 指.挣扎，踉跄.，并由此引申出.在困惑中进行.的意思。如果说约翰在化学中失败， 他最好放弃这门功课； 如果他正在挣扎中， 他可能还能通过这门课 founder
