cradle-to-grave是由from the cradle to the grave简化而构成的形容词性合成词,字面意思是“从摇篮到坟墓这一段时间”,实际就是“从生到死”,也就是 “一辈子”、“一生”、“终身”。
例如:
How many years can a person live from the cradle to the grave? (人从生到死能活多少年?)
The road of salvation was mapped out from the cradle to the grave. (人们把得救之路从生至死都确定了)
He will give me cradle-to-grave protection.(他将给我一生一世的保护).
