Hence the creeping tendrils and overabundant leaves spread wildly and aimlessly, becoming a cancer on the economy. When a storm comes they not only damage the roots; if the worst comes to the worst they may rip them out wholesale, wiping out years of hard work in a moment.
結果蔓枝冗葉無目的地亂長，成為經濟之癌；一旦風暴來襲，不但拖累根基，嚴重時還會連根拔起，使多年的辛勤毀於一旦。
