It is to accept that the innovator’s curse is to be transitory⑥.) …… （一）核心词汇：例句来源于Oxford和外研社等词汇书注解（部分） dominate v.支配，俯视n.支配 She always tends to dominate the conversation at dinner parties. pit v.凹陷，与sb/sth较量n..坑 The two strongest tears were pitted against each other in the final. reveal in sth/in ding sth 欣赏、陶醉于 He likes being famous and reveals in the attention he gets. poignantpoignancy a.令人悲伤的n.悲伤 a poignant memory （二）难句解析（语法）： 1．As h
