be the pits
1. 解释
它是一个习惯用语,意思是“极坏的,最糟糕的事情或事物”。其英文解释为:be very bad or the worst example of sth。
2. 例句
e.g. The comedian's performance was the pits!
这喜剧演员的表演糟透了!
e.g. The food in this restaurant is the pits!

Ps :high-paying是复合词,是形容词high和paying组合而成,意思是“薪水高的”。Not…any more的意思是“再也……不…….”。On the weekend是指“在周末”。
