We are desperate to get this country through the recession and into recovery and that is what I intend to continue to do."

VOA: standard.2010.04.30

Moreover, you might get hit by an illness and then you could be in desperate trouble that you will die unless you get some kind of emergency care, which might be very expensive.

还有，你可能染上重病,并且深陷绝境,以致你会因此而死去,除非你能获得异常昂贵的，紧急护理。
