地道表達(dá)：fall from grace：失寵
解詞釋義：
grace做名詞時(shí)有“恩惠，善意”的意思。從字面上看，改習(xí)語的意思是“從寵幸中掉下來”，意即“失寵”。
支持范例：
Eg. And once having fallen from grace he found it hard to climb back into favor again.
一旦失寵之后，他發(fā)現(xiàn)很難重新得寵
Eg. The minister fell from grace after his careless remarks, and was dismissed from the government.
