Nose dive。这个说法据说来源于飞机。飞机机头最前的部分称为nose。nose dive
的时候,飞机尾巴向上,鼻子向下快速地往地面下降。nose dive也引申出了很多
意思:  "Today the stock market took a nosedive and dropped 75 points."
“今天股票市场猛跌了75点。”

美国报纸可能会这样报导好莱坞电影明星:

 "Everyboday thought this young actor would have a brilliant future
after he starred in two pictures that made a lot of money. Then he
appeared in three films that nobody want to see, and his career took a
nose dive -- no producer wants him any more." “那个年轻演员演了两部很赚
钱的电影后,大家都以为他一定会前途无量。可是他又演了三部谁都不爱看的电
影。这样,没有制片人要他了,他的影艺生涯从此一落千丈。”
