　　【講解】

　　文中的rank at the bottom就是“排名墊底”的意思，其中rank作動(dòng)詞，意為“給……排名;名列”，如：The report ranks the U.S. 20th out of 22 advanced nations.(這份報(bào)告把美國(guó)排在22個(gè)發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的第20位。);rank也可以作名詞，意為“等級(jí);職位”，如：social rank(社會(huì)等級(jí))。

　　at the bottom是介詞短語，解釋為“在底部;是……的根本原因”，如：Wine is at the bottom of his illness.(飲酒是他生病的根本原因。)
