【词义深度解析】

fare可以作动词也可以作名词，名词意思常见的是“票价”，动词意思是“进行，表现”，比如我们说一家公司表现怎么样，可以用fare替换do, perform等词。该词意思简单，用法单一，但很少英语学习者能想起来用它。后面常接副词，well, badly, better, poorly等。

5. Conversely（相反地）, Carlo Ancelotti has squandered resources. Although he has led the team with the best players in its league in eight of his past 12 seasons, he has won only three titles in that time. A top-league player who fared so poorly would have lost his job. But the market for coaches is inefficient. Mr Ancelotti keeps getting hired—perhaps because employers over-weight his three Champions League trophies, which required a much smaller number of wins.

squandered /ˈskwɒndə/ v. 浪费（金钱、资源、机会等）

6. How did your week fare? Hope you have a wonderful week. 这周过得怎么样？希望你度过愉快的一周。
