Across the nation, newspapers carried stories of the gold being found. One told how thousands of people climbed the mountains looking for gold. Some stories told how others followed the rivers and streams with pans. Each one hoped that the place he claimed panned out well – had some gold.____________________________The word, however, remained in the language. Today, Americans still say, "It panned out well," when something they have done pleases them. A business, a discovery, a simple event pans out well if it is successful. Unhappily, sometimes things do not pan out.全国各大报纸都报道了淘金热的故事,有的报道人们是怎样在山上寻找金子的,而有的报道人们是如何带着锅顺着河流溪水寻找金子的.每个人都希望他 们占有的地方能淘到金子.______________________然后,这个词语在语言中保留下来了,如今,美国人借此表达结果理想.生意、发现、小事成功了就用这个短语"pans out well",但是如果不成功就用"do not pan out".
